Lemmy seems to have gotten the lions share of reddit migrants. Which is fine mostly, it’s got good features and seems to be the popular pick. But with all the posts I’ve been seeing lately it really seems like many Lemmy users think Lemmy is all there is. I personally don’t give a shit how you are viewing the fediverse, but to me any boasting about your particular instance reads like you’re bragging about the designer of your glasses…
Lemmy seems to have gotten the lions share of reddit migrants
According to fedidb.org, Lemmy (all instances) has 70,412 active users while kbin (all instances) has 61,811. That’s a 53%-47% split - technically a narrow majority, but the reality is that both services have picked up ‘about half’ of the new users. (I focused here on active users, as the total users stats are badly skewed by the problem a few weeks ago where several Lemmy instances that don’t validate accounts were overrun by bots.)
It’s not obviously enough to justify Lemmy getting special attention or Lemmy users not being aware the Threadiverse is bigger than just Lemmy.
Wow I thought many more people had gone to Lemmy. I’m looking forward to getting apps that can connect to more parts of the fediverse. Something that let’s you compile a feed that includes things like PeerTube content.
I think that’s because those kind of users either want the Fediverse to be Reddit 2.0 instead of its own thing, or they want to be swept up in the drama and feel like they stuck it to Spez. Like it’s weird to see some of the Reddit-specific communities like r/196 be on here and people already making Reddit-tier inside jokes in the Fediverse like the 3 days of pooping.
Maybe I am too synical but how come Lemmy is in the exact centre of this graphic?

Yeah I think it’s kinda cringe. I had to block m/196 cause I just do not care.
I think because it overlaps Networking, Books, and Writing. Not sure how it involves books. Also, kbin and others should be in writing as well.
yeah, i don’t think that much should be read into it. But in any case, the source does not seem to higlight Lemmy in particular in any way.
