Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there's a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.

I joined lemmy when they killed Apollo. Should have done it so much sooner, this is way better!

    Before Reddit killed Apollo, Lemmy was really lacking in daily content. Now we've reached a point where I can open the app multiple times a day and see new content.

    It was the same for me. I think joined the same day. To be honest, I haven't looked back at reddit. I enjoy the communities here, and some devs to great work on apps like memmy and mlem. Both feature a lot of Apollo App.

    I only used Reddit thanks to Sync. Credit to the dev as they announced they were moving to Lemmy as part of their last update. I thought, what is Lemmy? Let me try it out.

    Now I'm here. If it wasn't for Spez being an idiot killing the APIs, I wouldn't have known Lemmy existed. So for the first and only time, that's Spez for encouraging me find something better.

    Something hilarious that I discovered: If you still have an old copy of Alien Blue on your phone, it still works. Haven't tried all the functions but I guess the API key must be the same as the official app (since they bought it and just started working on it).

    I'm staying off reddit because my big mad protest will surely convince a corporation not to ruin itself by having no decent plan to become profitable (ha), but if you're looking to still browse with a not shitty app it might still be working lol
