    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.

    Oh so lurkers aren’t counted as active? That’s even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.

      Oh, hi Margot Robbie. I loved you in Suicide Squad… the first one, I couldn’t be bothered to watch the second one. Sorry 😅

    Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).

    Things keep looking better here, so I’m optimistic about lemmy.

      Yeah, lurkers aren’t counted. Only those who have commented or posted within a specified period.

        Worth noting we probably have a much higher engagement percentage than the average atm. Young community, cool new idea, gets people excited. Since the service isn’t really ready for primetime yet, the only way to really pitch in and even just vent enthusiasm is to make content. For most of us that don’t have dev skills anyway.

    I’ve been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has. Also it’s incredibly impressive how quickly lemmy improved over the last weeks.

      I agree. I lurked on Reddit for most of my time there. But here, it feels like I can get a fresh start and be a part of a new community. Kinda feels like I have a responsibility too. I want this place to succeed, so I have to contribute.

      I still think that Lemmy needs to be more user-friendly before it starts to gain a lot of traction. Right now, the decentralization is an aspect that makes it so great, but it also creates a lot of pain points.

    This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!

    Lemmy looked a bit complex, coming from Reddit, with the great app Sync for Reddit, but I like it here so far. Hoping Sync for Lemmy will soon be there!

    Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it’s full steam ahead.
