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.
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!
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.
The beans phase had me doubting the quality part for sure.
I assure you, the beans are of the highest quality.
BEANS
The memes has been high quality though
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. 😊

It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
This comment is so good it has -1 downvotes

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!

What caused Lemmy to recently have a big bump?
Did Reddit do something really stupid…again?
This post is 2 years old
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn’t crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
Looking at the monthly active users on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats it’s interesting to see that Lemmy gained around 10k new MAUs this year until april and then lost around 10k again since then.
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!
Did somebody say sync…

I love how active you are as a developer in the community.
@Paulius@lemmy.world Does it only count Lemmy’s posts, or does it include other compatible plateforms, such as Mbin?
Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don’t think so, I think it’s original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there’s a lot going on!
Great! I was a bit sceptical about the new users grow in the past weeks, but I think this information is more reliable
You can tell there are more users by the number of the top up voted threads. Some are in the 1000s votes and a lot in the 100s. Wasn’t that high before.
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
