Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?> The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.
EDIT: @Elcapitan786@lemmy.world has pointed out that this stat is for total comments by day, not per day. Thanks for the correction.
We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people
Also more developers
I wonder, is that over 0.1% of what Reddit got?
my bad, my bad, a 985% surge is absolutely insane and I adore this community!
I just hope there are fewer assholes like me
Not going to happen
For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.
I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like 'you aren't logged into X, login to comment' when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.
I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!
Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!
I've settled my focus on Memmy with some periodic checks on Mlem. I'm a sucker to try as many new Lemmy apps as I can but Memmy is where I spend my time. The development pace is amazing.
same here, i’m super impressed with how far along memmy has come in such a short time. really excited to see how all of these apps continue to improve but memmy is a clear #1 for me at this point in time
here we come!
Neat, I’m pretty sure this my first comment! Excited to be here
There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.
Lol, with 19 days in you are actually one of the lemmy grampas . :)
SPU... fuckin' a that's a good one. I'm trying to help push up the average the best I can.
This doesn't appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.
The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.
Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.
I think you're right. Thanks for the pointing that out. I've corrected the post.
I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.
Try wefwef.app
It's really nice to see genuinely thoughtful comments on lemmy. It's definitely a refreshing change from the endless streams of tired, overused jokes that dominate that other site.
This
edit: do we really have to copy the '/s' for sarcasm?
The /s should remain a thing of the past. It’s embarrassing.
I don't like tone indicators, but they're meant to help, among others, autistic people who have a hard time understanding tones
Came here to say this.
Cool, but I bet most are bots
I'm not getting that impression from the comments in the threads I'm in.
