Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.
The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.
They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people's eyes here. Just a question of time.
Speaking of sharing content, is there a way to crosspost around here yet?
Yes, when you make a post look at the line where the 'save post' button is at the bottom of the entry. There will be two overlapping squares. That's the crosspost button.

I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.
I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I'm the only one posting so far, it's fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!
Please definitely don't be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.
Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the "gaming in general" communities.
But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can't be beat. Hang in there, and you'll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.

You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.
I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊

Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
Yup! As someone with a 16 year old reddit account, I've seen it all. This feels like back in the day

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.
For real? Damn they are that desperate.
I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.
I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.

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.

I'm not saying it's because of beans, but it's probably because of beans.

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!
Reddit user of 12 years here. God I hope this place takes off like Voat was supposed to. Reddit has just changed so damn much. I was honestly sick of the place since before the crazy app meltdown.

We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.
I don't wanna poo poo on this, but there are bots literally just scraping Reddit and reposting all of the content. Big grain of rice here, gents.
I mean bots on reddit are copying reddit to paste it on Reddit. In the future bots on Lemmy will copy Lemmy posts and paste it on Lemmy too. that's just how reddit and lemmy works

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts
Happy to finally be able to login and post something 😀
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
ABANDON ALL HOPELESSNESS YE WHO ENTER HERE
The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.
That's pretty impressive. I hope it continues to grow. It would be nice if there was some way to mirror the content that gets posted on Reddit specifically the highly popular posts in news subreddits but otherwise I like it a lot.

This is exciting! Lemmy is so cool.
We done did it, doin it out here, big things, wildin, etc.. Seriously though, I'm happy to be a part of this as a recent redditfugee. I'm never going back. I miss r/emo, I miss r/oneyplays, I miss r/twosentencehorror, I miss all my saved posts and threads, but I'm not fucking around with Reddit on principle, and also as everyone here has been so kind and helpful. I was in a community that posted something about Lemmy being founded as an anti-corpo movement and that's cool as hell and aligns with how I am. So yes yes, I'm all in on exploring and growing this Undiscovered Country
Nostr and Lemmy, these are now my only social networks. No more corporate and government control.
Freedom!
Since the 30th I've stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don't participate here as much because the content I'm seeing it's not as tailored to my interests as I'd like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.
Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.
But I'm very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.

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/
