From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023.
According to Lemmy’s documentation, “An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.”

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.
Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.
With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.
I already didn’t read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.
Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.
Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.
There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.
100% honestly, I’m not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it’s interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances’ content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!
Upping the active count, no lurking for me
Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.

Hello, I see you 👁️👄👁️
Same here.
Hello fellow lemmitors?
Lemmites? Make Ned Ludd proud.
This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
I’m gonna comment so as to be counted as active.
Brilliant.
Reporting in
I’m not.
i opened up this thread with the intention of doing just that— glad to see i’m not the only one lol
Hey me too!

Hello there
Oh so lurkers aren’t counted as active? That’s even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.
Okay, here’s my first comment.
Indeed! That would be me, but I would now like to contribute to the totals so I am contributing this fairly worthless comment!
Another relatively useless comment! Just to contribute :)
I’ve probably posted as much in Lemmy in a couple weeks as I did on reddit in several years, but as the say, be the change you want to see.
Man, I knew I made the right decision to promote “Barbie” on this Lemonworld thing instead of reddit.
Oh, hi Margot Robbie. I loved you in Suicide Squad… the first one, I couldn’t be bothered to watch the second one. Sorry 😅
Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in

I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.
Agreed. I imagine the devs and admins here are looking at it as a bit of a deadline of sorts. It’s going to be a big bump in traffic, best to have as much as you can in place.
If you can have useable app out by then, you’ll get a big sudden surge in interest. It’s just a really nice opportunity for an aspiring dev.
This is great and exciting news, but we do need to keep things in perspective. Jumping to almost 48,000 daily active users is great, but Reddit has about 55 million. That’s essentially a rounding error as far as Reddit is concerned.
I’m curious what the make up of people migrating are. It could be the early adopters that helped Reddit build out the platform ahead of Digg collapsing. It could also be people who were looking for an excuse to leave because they didn’t really like Reddit for one reason or another. I think I fall more in the fed up with Reddit and looking for anyone/anywhere doing it better.
I won’t use the official Reddit app, so my phone Reddit usage will drop to zero on July 1st.
I’m really trying, the main thing I miss is the amount of content and the general navigability of reddit. Finding new subs was so easy and lemmy feels harder to just browse imo. I’ve moved to the lemmy RSS and deleted my reddit bookmarks to help keep me from going there out of weakness though.
We’ll see to what degree the migration stays/works. I would be very happy to see some competition in this space.

Also native search works pretty well https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=cat&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
These should help. Definitely agree about the amount of content. There’s a lot of subs that haven’t even migrated over yet.
I think it’s going to be rough for sometime but the numbers seem promising thus far.
Particularly when compared to any other reddit alterative.
It is a bit harder due to fragmentation but it will get better, don’t worry. Also plenty of new upcoming apps.
As a Reddit user for over a decade that got perma-banned for reporting repost bots and blatant misinfo — Glad to see new site where I can actually be involved.
To be honest, i am using reddit via Apollo and lemmy but as soon as that shuts down im transitioning to lemmy full time.
I’m on some cracked official Reddit app that has the ads fully removed. I am not sure if it will still work afterwards but switching to Lemmy anyway.
Previously uncounted lurker also commenting for the stats.
Found my way here as part of the Grand Reddit Migration. Applying for refugee status please. (1st day on Lemmy, looks good gotta say)
Can you hold in a poo for three days?
Well that’s an ask. Once a year can’t be that bad. Can it?
We’ve already had a legendary post occur but I don’t have a ink to the source. Can anyone help out?
There you go, I believe, this is the one 🙂
Your application looks good; you just need to write an ending for the following sentence: " Fuck …"
Fuck that cretinous spez and his money-grabbing lobotomy business plan.
Double edged sword as it is, I’ll probably prefer Lemmy anyway…
I’ve just registered, read this last night and had to comment just to be a part of it. Happy to find a really good alternative.
