Fediverse now well past 14 Million total users

Excellent. Never going back to reddit.

Lemmy is home now. Loving it here.

I had been using Masotodon as my main social media before, but gladly find myself on Lemmy a whole lot more. Masotodon is certainly not my type of social media, the Twitter format and lack of algorithm kills it for me. Lemmy fills that Reddit gap, and Sync makes it feel like I'm on Reddit again. Though the website has a long ways to go. Lemmy still has a lot of features to go and things to figure out to be a Reddit killer, but I feel confident we've hit a healthy size and are relatively stable right now.

Biggest thing I think that needs to get worked on though is to give smaller communities better visibility. You almost never see them because they get buried by the popular communties.

I'm not sure how Reddit did it, but they'd show smaller communities to show up on Hot feed pretty often to give them more exposure. We need a form of that.

Hell yeah. Special shout-out to Sync for Lemmy for reeling me back in as a daily user.

As a person who recently left one community, and found lemmy, I'm very thankful.

More stats for those interested.

Wow its Crazy, I think this is the end of an era for centralized social media. #fuckyoufacebook #fuckyoureddit #fuckyoutwitter

and there was much rejoicing!

Just to clarify, this wouldn’t account for people making multiple accounts, right? I know people who have a mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account.

Great news! I wonder how many people have more than one account. I just made my second one because my 'main' server is down a lot lately.

The content coming in lately has been awesome. Let's go..

Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise

I think this trend will continue for a bit as more mobile apps get created and become more popular.

Though looks like only some 7 million of them are active.

reddit is for plebs at this point

It's been great seeing the community grow. Hope this keeps up at a sustainable rate until Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc. become mainstays.

Awesome, let’s keep those numbers rising!

I'm posting as much as I can!

if you find your instance unavailable jump to another. not at all like the old Tw down days. Thanks Fediverse

Congrats!

Now if we can only keep the bots at bay!

Does this include the spammy instances?

I'm so damn happy to be here for it. This place just feels like the back in the day kind of internet. Lemmy 4 Lyfe like I say, yes yes

10 milloin are Mastodon users

Lets keep on keepin on!

Good news!

I really like the fediverse and I couldn't imagine it blowing up like this 10 years ago. We've come a long way since then.
