    Yeah in a few days I’m going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

    I’ll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

    Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

      I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).

      This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.

      Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.

      I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.

      Monthly Average Users

      as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

      For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

      I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

    Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.

    Woo! That’s awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

    We are already successful, I’m seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

    To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use “Thunder” and it works great.

    Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.

    I guess some people get off on go team go, but to me looking at market share is very corporate thinking. If lemmy is better than reddit (which I think it is) it will just naturally grow, which is great. Whet I’m cheering for is taking social media away from the business world by doing it better for free - whether that turns out to be lemmy or some other software.

    Worth noting is that what counts as an “active user” has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an “active user” was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

      Also helps to not be shit.

      Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.

      Honestly the Tankie presence on lemmy is kind of a shit experience. But its shit that doesn’t sell your data so I’m cool with it.

        They’re being diluted though! It was so much worse last year
