Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

Yes, it's great. I'm enjoying this a lot.
Welcome, everybody!

Yep, fediverse observer reports monthly active users count has doubled in four days, no real change in revenue (money donated) it seems which is a shame. The conversion rate needs to improve IMO and it seems that the option to donate is not attracting the attention it deserves. I think lemmy needs more improvements so it will be able to retain a bigger chunk of the users that is exploring the platform, look at what happened to mastodon and the fediverse after the migration after elon musk buyout , According to the statistics almost half the users are gone.

What's the best way to contribute? I used the Patreon link at the bottom of the join lemmy page.

Looking at it now https://www.patreon.com/dessalines is pretty lite on details.

in reply to Machindo

Dessalines is one of the admins for lemmy.ml and I think he's also a Dev so it seems like the right place to contribute.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Well, it got me to try installing an instance of my own. We’ll see if I manage to keep it running 😂

@lmorchard
Cool! I have my own Friendica instance 👍 which I'm also using for posting on Lemmy. I prefer to have one account for everything whenever possible 😃

The Reddit exodus has begun! My only regret is not learning about lemmy and the fediverse before things blew up over there.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I've been greately enjoying it so far, especially now that I'm making small contributions
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Reddit won't work on my phone anymore so I had to find somewhere new, and most other places are alt right cesspits
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Excuse my ignorance, but can Lemmy and the others handle a Reddit exodus?
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

It's kind of awesome :) A question to others here. I mostly see stuff from beehaw and lemmy.ml on All. Are these the most active servers?
in reply to Parsnip8904

@Parsnip8904
I think so. There was also jeremmy.ml but it doesn't seem to be reachable right now.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Thank you :) I remember seeing a solarpunk and another science server in the list but haven't seen anything from those in my all feed either.
in reply to Parsnip8904

@Parsnip8904
It can be because no one on your instance is following communities from over there. There needs to be at least one follower of a topic/community before posts are pulled to the instance you're on.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

@Parsnip8904
So if you want to follow a community on another instance which your own instance doesn't know about, take the URL of the community from the remote instance and put it in the search field on your own instance and then you can follow it. After that new posts from there will show up

Thanks a lot! I'm going to try this out now. I wish there was a sidebar or something that explained some gotchas like this.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Hello world! My first ~~Kenny~~ Lemmy comment! I have no idea what I'm doing :D all I know is I'm mad at hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! In regards to Reddit anyway hehe.
I will kinda miss Reddit, but if Lemmy gets a good following I imagine it should be better than Reddit ever was 😎
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

it's absolutely awesome here! :⁠-⁠D
I feel like being part of the internet of my youth again.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I did not even know lemmy was a thing till people on reddit started talking about it
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

i tried lemmy a few months ago but i didn't find enough content. I'm happy to see popularity is going up, and the new android app is a real game changer
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I tried looking at google trends to see if there are recent spikes in searches for lemmy, but it's a bit had because they didn't categorize for the lemmy software.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

a few years ago it was literally a handful of ppl posting 90% of links and talking to each other, witnessing firsthand how complicated it is to get over that initial user retention bump, but i’m convinced we’re over it now :)
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Cheers! Lemmy has been awesome so far!
I just need Mlem to be developed more, or have some other iOS developer come in.

On Desktop, it seems Lemmy is at its best right now.

in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

It is cool to see this platform getting some attention as reddit's biggest mistake draws nigh.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

This has happened in R's past: see Voat (I wont link it here). I hope we can keep this an open and engaging community without all that hatred.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Lemmy and the fediverse are such unique and cool concepts. I hope to see Lemmy grow even more in the future!
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Thanks for the welcome! I'm still a bit confused by how this all works, but not gonna lie I think it's pretty cool and I wish I knew about this earlier.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

This site's like a breath of fresh air, small communities and the excitement of not quite know what you're doing lol, no muscle memory open close and open again
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I hope Lemmy does well whether reddit implodes or not. Great concept!
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I just joined today and first impression is great. Seems like a lot of nice people ended up under the same ceiling. :)
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I am so excited to discover how to navigate around here! looking forward to all of you :)
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

I'm done with Reddit once July 1st hits...it'll be a change but once Lemmy takes off I can totally see it being a great replacement...already feels like home!
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

reddit refugee here! So far so good except there’s not a native app for lemmy on iOS so I’m using a safari “add to Home Screen” webapp for lemmy.ml , works pretty good!
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Let's hope Lemmy becomes a real alternative for reddit. The infrastructure looks good, now we just need the communities.
in reply to Anders Rytter Hansen

Its so nice to see decentralized social media becoming more mainstream hopefully everyone will be off the big platforms soon
