electronicoldman , (edited ) to fediverse in Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown

Reddit is a read-only site for me now, and only when I’m searching for something specific. All my “forum browsing” time goes to Lemmy now. Can’t wait until I can unfollow the last few Twitter-only accounts (public transit alert accounts) so I can complete my migration to Mastodon.

SuddenTrash ,

Yeah trying to keep Reddit activity to a minimum myself. Not missing it tbh, other than troubleshooting posts through the years lol

If you have a problem post it to lemmy. We can try help.

zerozaku ,

if you are reading reddit only then I recommend to use libreddit.hu Doing this wouldn’t give reddit their juicy traffic

4ce ,

Or even better: install the libredirect extension to do this automatically, not just for reddit.

zerozaku ,

woah this is sick, thanks!

14k users per week, 22k users per month, makes it look like a bunch of people tried it and then didn’t come back.

I’m not sure how accurate that part of the stat page is, given we have very little usage data compiled into a short sample size, during a time of high growth.

Most people don’t know that the lemmy.world instance was only started on June 1 or June 2 this year, and is only a little more than a month old. A month of crazy growth to become the most popular Lemmy instance that fast, with more growth likely to come.

MBM ,

Some of them probably moved to a different instance, but yeah

WarmSoda ,

They shut the API off on Thursday/Friday, and it’s a four day holiday weekend. Not sure how final any numbers could be right now.

I put together an IKEA chair, cleaned the litter tray, did some crocheting, played Animal Crossing, gave the neighbour his parcel and will be heating up dinner soon. Why, something special going on?

NatureBoyFlickRair , to nostupidquestions in What are you doing today on July 4th?

I joined Lemmy. Other than that it was an unremarkable day.

Aaaaaand… it’s upside down. Lol. Perfect.

Happens to the best of us, no way you could’ve known it would flip lol

booboodingding OP ,

Ha! That’s so true. Had I been more clever I would’ve said “Australia version” or something.

That only boosts its memorability 🙃

booboodingding OP ,

Exactly. My first post on Lemmy, and it went south :p

I honestly don’t know how that happened. The photo was taken in the correct direction, everywhere else I’ve shown it and put it, It’s always the right side up. But like you said, this makes it more memorable.

BartsBigBugBag ,

It’s happened to me a couple times also. I’m not sure the cause yet, but I’ll let you know if I figure it out.

billwashere ,

I don’t want to admit how long it took for me to realize this was upside down. But it was too long.

booboodingding OP ,

I mean, this is how it would look if you were looking at it from the front? So it’s not that different. But, the game is totally upside down and I don’t think that would work.

billwashere ,

You’re being kind but the big tell should have been … I don’t know… gravity 😀

He’s adorable and looks happy. Congratulations on raising him right!

I see it in his eyes. He has his reasons.

Variden3301 OP ,

I am probably annoying to him

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Consider joining my Show Me What You Got community to share this there. This is exactly the kind of content I’d love to see there.

progenyofthestars , to cat in I guess I'll read my book later

That's when you pickup the cat and read together!

SuddenTrash , to fediverse in Lemmy.world has grown by about 66.6% since reddit's API shutdown

What happens if lemmy.world or any other instance goes down without notice? Then there’d be a void of communities for a while right, or do other instances keep backups of some sort? Thinking about this now that .world gets tons of attention.

You should read up on the Federation concept. No, not the Star Trek one. And no, not the government one either.

Thteven ,
@Thteven@lemmy.world avatar

That may be true but I am subscribed to many communities over many instances so I would just post and comment somewhere else. It’s not hard to browse the all feed and see where the action currently is.

Spreading out like the fediverse is designed is good. Redundancy and crossposted content is good.

We're seeing the biggest instances struggle with the traffic lately, so I'm just engaging more with different communities whenever they're not accessible.

BURN , to nostupidquestions in What are you doing today on July 4th?

I’m packing my apartment. Or rather procrastinating packing my apartment.

Took down the gaming rig last night so there’s less to get in the way

goldenbug , to cat in Volt after biting me

You're probably very biteable

Variden3301 OP ,

I think he sees me as a treat

goldenbug ,

Aren't you a treat?

Strangian , to cat in Volt after biting me

You know why he did it.

Variden3301 OP ,

Yes I know…

Came from Apollo, only been on Reddit once. That was enough for me…

Tygr ,

Only thing I’m messed up with is Reddit’s NSFW subreddits can’t be viewed logged out and I won’t log in either. Oh well. I won’t allow myself to contribute there.

Coelacanth ,
@Coelacanth@lemmy.world avatar

Can’t they be accessed without logging in from old.reddit still?

Tygr ,

Ahh, that’s why everyone loves the old subdomain. I hate the regular experience on desktop but on mobile, it was alright. Thanks for the tip.
