The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
Just don't post links. I tested it myself and they will shadow remove your comment.
It's insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit's API bs!
From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I'm here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.
All. My. Homies. Hate. Spez.
Did somebody say sync...
Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!
I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts
The default "Active" sort option does that. Try "Hot" instead.
Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I'm not using Lemmy to its potential.
Try "sexy"
I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn't look back
This is reminiscent of when I was first on Hotmail back in the 90's. I remember getting an email from the Hotmail team when they first hit a million subscribers.... They were bought out by Microsoft within the year.... My username is my original Hotmail address.
Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy
I'm doing my part. I had two posts on Reddit. One was superniche and got 30ish points. Whatever, I was happy. It had useful info for the other people on the sub. Then I posted something to the broader community and got two downvotes in like 1 second, killing it. How did they even look at it? I think someone was sitting there gleefully downvoting every fucking thing. I never posted again.
I've been here since mid June and have made 264 posts, like WTF. I'm having more fun here than I ever did on Reddit and I don't get that sick feeling I used to get from seeing all the outrage posts and mean comments (to everyone, not just me).
Loving Lemmy.
We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.
To the next numerically observable milestone! 🚀
Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable
You can tell there are more users by the number of the top up voted threads. Some are in the 1000s votes and a lot in the 100s. Wasn't that high before.
So much of that steep was beans lmao
Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0
This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so
Looks like the title is incorrect, and it's actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can't be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).
Edit: according to other people's comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
Invest! Invest! Oh wait, I’m glad that’s not the point here ;)
THIS. IS. SOCIALISM!
As social networking should be.
Holy fucking shit that's insane. What's wild is, if I understand it correctly, that's basically linear with how many users have joined, meaning people are posting more than ever before (on a per user basis).
It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.
I'm not saying it's because of beans, but it's probably because of beans.
Wow, over 4K. This might be the most upvoted post yet.
What happened June 21st? It's the first exponential growth and it's also when I made my account, but I don't remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.
Edit: I think it's when they started trying to force subreddits back open: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ffsk8/reddit_is_a_bully/
Just 2 days after iamthatis exposed Reddit's bullshit about Apollo
