Friendly reminder that lemmy is still being actively developed. There will be many performance improvements in the future, as well as UI and whatnot. Stick around, create content and engage with your communities.

Reddit is a read-only site for me now, and only when I'm searching for something specific. All my "forum browsing" time goes to Lemmy now. Can't wait until I can unfollow the last few Twitter-only accounts (public transit alert accounts) so I can complete my migration to Mastodon.

I was using Bacon Reader for Android for the last 10 years. For me it was the only way of using Reddit. I'm now checking Lemmy. I hope we can build a vibrant community here. I'm not coming back to Reddit.

So what’s happening over at Reddit? I assume all is still well over there. But after ten plus years, I actually haven’t been over there since Apollo died because I’ve just been busy and scrolling here before bed instead of the old Reddit browser.

I assume it’s business as usual and it didn’t implode, but honestly it’s been like three days since I’ve been there and that’s probably one of my longer streaks without casually browsing at some point in the day.

I feel it, can barely reply from all the errors being thrown.

I am one of those users.

Don't even feel the need to go back to reddit. This platform is going to take off.

That's impressive! It also definitely explains why lemmy.world has been slow to respond in my Lemmy app.

Truly have no idea if this or other similar projects will succeed long-term, but I do think that any alternative puts much needed pressure on social media companies to stop sucking ass.

Here’s to hoping it keeps growing. Gonna need content other than beans though.

I fuckin love this place

With care and love we can build a new and better reddit

I actually don't on't mind the smaller user base on Lemmy at all.

First work day since shutdown, I survived without Reddit, I'm sure I can continue doing so. Lemmy has plenty of potential yet already "good enough" to take Reddit's place.

Seems like they aren’t handling the load well.

Hail Satan.

That’s great but 66.6%? Time to conspire!

Indeed. It makes sense it was laggy during the upscaling, but it's stabilized now and it's great to see how well Lemmy has grown. The other thing I've notes is development is currently proceeding at a frenzied pace, it feels like every few days a new feature is added, either in the main service or in the multitude of apps being developed.

What happens if lemmy.world or any other instance goes down without notice? Then there'd be a void of communities for a while right, or do other instances keep backups of some sort? Thinking about this now that .world gets tons of attention.

That's great news! Lemmy is a great, if but a little buggy, replacement for Reddit. I'm sure the bugs will be ironed out in due time. I'm enjoying the federated community. The more the merrier!

Nice growth, looks to be slowing down a little - I wonder how much is related to the poor performance last few days

Cool now join a server that’s not crowded. Hit “all.”Enjoy Lemmy with all the same content with zero lag.

They need to slow the growth this place has become nearly unusable.
