    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!

    Really glad I get to witness history in the making. This is definitely the future and stoked to see it growing so quickly.

    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!

    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).

    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.

      It’s funny, because it’s not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it’s apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.

        If people didn’t choose the easy route when given the option, North America would not be suffering from an obesity epidemic. Why make something healthy and time consuming when fast food is so conveniently available?
