Registration and discovery needs to be simplified tremendously for long term viability. But it’s a good start.

Image Transcription: Line Graph
[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

My first post. RIP RIF.
Happy to be part of the sudden stress test of your software and infrastructure! June 30 hit and I needed a place to go. Found Lemmy. Found Connect for Lemmy. I don't know if this is the future for a Reddit-like service, but I'm pleased to see some real activity and I'm glad to be a part.
Suppose this post is as good as any to comment on. According to screentime on my iphone Apollo was by far the most used app on my phone.
O shit dat me
Uninstalling RiF after using it for ~7 years was so surreal and heartbreaking. Now wefwef.app is my new best friend 🤝
Came here after years of using RIF. It was a good ride, let's boost Lemmy.
Reddit refugees flooding the border
Truly though. Less than 3k users a month ago and now over 50k and counting? Basically everyone here is looking for a reddit replacement. Hopefully those 3k other people don't mind lmao
I come seeking refuge from the shit storm that is reddit leadership.
Hopefully a viable Reddit replacement here
I’m doing my part!
Just made an account
Is this the last Reddit hug of death?
Curious to see the July numbers.. :o
just created an account. looks familiar but janky
Speaking of janky, voting doesn't seem to actually work for me?
First Post on here.
RIP RIF.
So incredibly sad, but hoping lemmy can be something special in its own right.
Using Connect for Lemmy and like what I've seen so far.
Downloaded Connect on Android and I'm really enjoying it. I hope to see Lemmy do well!
The main thing that bothers me about Connect are the 'Material You' colours. Can't figure out how to get it just black and white. So for now I'm on Jerboa.
Let's go! Leaving a comment to participate, hoping the new place can handle the traffic tomorrow.
