Hard to believe how many of us there actually are, yet social media has conditioned us into believing a website is dead unless it has 50 million daily visitors.

We certainly aren't hurting for content (well, yes, we are, but the archive is being built as we speak.)

Thank fuck, maybe I can go back to being a lurker lol

I've probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO

So we have about as many users as the subreddit dedicated to Taylor Swift's armpits

I’ve logged back onto here for the first time in ages because I do not trust big tech.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Lemmy.ca signups per day if we go back to the start of the first exodus:

Yes I’m here so expect this place to be filled with awful soon.

I can’t go back to Reddit. Bots, bots as far as the eyes can see.

Hopefully people start posting in niche communities!

(But not the Taylor Swift armpit one)

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I'm part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I'm part of the crowd.

I feel like as more people wake up to how social media is toxic and quite literally programming by the rich, they will seek out alternatives that are owned by the people.

This is how the Internet was intended to be.

I came back to Lemmy as in trying to avoid American corporation owned social networks. Reddit falls into that category.

I'm glad more people are realizing how evil big tech companies are.

I finally bit the bullet and deleted my 14yr old Reddit account last night. It was the only way to break my habit.

Proud to be one of the active user 🫡

Hopefully they are active and interesting people.

Lemmy has so much more and more diversified content than at the time of the API exodus. Hopefully, it will help us much more lemmygrant this time around.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Lemmy determine active users differently now, as compared to then? I recall a .world post about that, contemporaneous to when active users spiked. In any case, I appreciate the new folks!

What happened 2023?

Hey, where are you getting these stats from? I ask because FediDB is down.

I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.

It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.
