that's pretty cool

I joined in the last few days. Seems like this site has much better content. Less bots and reposts. Plus, the user base seems a lot more intelligent in general at this point.

I don't doubt there's a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.

Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.

How easy is it!

I just used my Reddit name and continued here.

No effort what so ever.

Bit to wrap my head around the idea of subs being completely different communities on different servers, but I LIKE that idea.... no Fascist Overlords to control the groupthink.

I guess (if this is how the Lemmyverse/Fediverse works) is some AWS/cloud instances are going to be spun up hard and fast!

I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad

[–] william@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I typed my old Reddit username in at first then said “wait a minute…”, somehow nobody took my simple first name in the first several hundred thousand accounts created!

[–] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Usernames only have to be unique on each instance, kind of like email. Even if Lemmy is growing exponentially, not all that growth will be on lemmy.world.

[–] atimholt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've always been able to grab my username. Of course, I originally (in a different context) tried "timholt", which was taken, then "thetimholt", which was also taken.

Love to see it.

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ngl, I'm gonna miss these early days I think. Hopefully we have instilled some type of decent, thoughtful culture on here that can keep us grounded and keep flourishing.

I really like getting in on these big threads later at night when everyone is chopping it up and making me think.

[–] illumrial@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That is quite the spike in growth. I'm new too. It's good to see places like this get attention.

[–] couragethebravedog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

200k bot accounts.

Notice the disparity between monthly active users and registered users. These are bots. I'm very tempted to block these instances outright.

[–] skillissuer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

while you're at. take a look at what instances beehaw has blocked. they might be crazy, but they aren't that crazy. nobody needs to be federated with pleroma instances with something like 30 nazis on them and nobody else (3/4 or more of this software)

[–] pivotraze 1 points 2 years ago

Holy cow. That is insane growth. I love it! Happy to see such a large influx of users. Hopefully most stay.

[–] ElectricCattleman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, amazing to see and experience the community grow and become so active. I love it! :D

[–] DVD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The good news is that bots seem to be joining particular instances made for them. This will make preventing them from ruining the fediverse easy, just defederate from instances like k6qw.

If they start joining instances such as this one, then that is its own issue, but each instance can solve it to their own needs. I'm not too worried about bots on Lemmy at all really.

[–] AndreTelevise@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmy will be like what LibreOffice was to OpenOffice. I can feel it.
