Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That’s a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

Welcome new reddit expats!

    Honestly, its already a good amount of content. People reply, people upvote, people post interesting articles. Its filling the void for me already.

            This is what reddit doesn’t get when they say it’s only a small fraction of users who left.

            Redditors aren’t created equally. The vast majority lurk and maybe don’t even upvote.

            You put in more work than a lot of professional journalists, and provided the content for free

      Totally agree. I stopped using Apollo 2 weeks ago to get myself adjusted early but felt like there was something missing each day.

      Using Lemmy right now really feels like that void has now been filled.
