I expect an even larger jump when on July 1s and onwards, that is where a lot of growth will come from.

Its now at, um, Users: 112113.5

who is the .5?

Wow! And it was around 11000 last weekend?! This is great!

Really impressive! Also the overall vibe is super positive. Hope it keeps growing. There is a lot of potential.

I love being a part of stuff like this.

It took reddit years and years to get to what it is today (well ... a week ago), and I'm excited to be a part of something like that again.

123000 now.

the community over on reddit saw the shape that shit's gonna turn next month and now we're all scattering and looking for places to land. this platform is close enough to what we came from that heaps of us are landing here.

this is the busiest instance, by the way. not sure about other people but i'm maintaining an account on this instance separate to my primary account simply because i can access stuff faster from here

Not gonna lie in the last 3 days I've commented and had good engagement than I've had for months on Reddit. Also day 3 with no reddit for me.

I just joined today. Taking refuge from Reddit. I hope this community builds up!

Five of those were from me. Hedging my bets across multiple instances. Can't imagine I'm the only one?

This is amazing news. I’m thinking we’ve reached critical mass where it’s going to be self sustaining and worth using.

Nice to see the growth! I came over from reddit, hearing about Lemmy when the blackout was being planned. Lurked a few days and finally joined today! I really like Lemmy.

I've been on reddit for a looong time (arrived there during the migration from Digg) and have seen other migrations from reddit and this one seems most successful and diverse. Way to go reddit for pissing off thousands of subreddits instead of just one or two. The upside of that for us is a variety of communities created in our new home so there's much less of a reason to go back to reddit. Many thanks to everyone creating, contributing, modding, and admining here!

Aside from maybe a few niche subreddits until they find their way over here or I find a replacement community somewhere else, as of now I don't plan on going back to reddit. I haven't been there since the day before the blackout. If I'm really curious about what's going on at reddit, I just check teddit as long as it's available.

I actually like the interface a LOT better than (old) Reddit. I refused to use the new interface because "yuck!" and old.reddit.com doesn't have a "dark mode," so I view this as an upgrade, visually (along with other UX aspects). I'm definitely sticking!

We're just getting started!

The site seems to be down?

That's over 9000!

Don't forget us kbin users too! We're all in the same boat now

I'm a new user and I can't really use it on mobile yet, kind of confusing

That is really good to see.

As one of those new users, I'm loving the potential of Lemmy and I'm enjoying finding my way around, but it definitely needs some UX enhancements, especially around federated communities.

I am happy that Lemmy is receiving more attention, but I suspect that these numbers are misleading, some people have more than one account (not my case!) and how many of them were active in the last 30 days?

40 million more to go! \o/
