IMO fediverse is big enough now to serve as reddit replacement.

Is thus just for one instance or across many instances

Was wondering what kicked off more signups.

Probably reddit announcing some shitty monetization scheme

Every time reddit announces something dumb I open Lemmy again. I’d rather be here on principle but the content/users just aren’t here yet. Where are the cross post bots?

Blaze OP ,

Which content are you interested in?

lemmit.online can be used to crosspost content from Reddit, but you won’t get much comments as people tend to prefer content curated by humans

!newcommunities has a weekly thread with active communities.

The content/users aren't here so I'm stubbornly trying to post content and comment whenever I can.

Even if I shout into the void, or get a few upvotes and little other engagement.

Although I understand it's not for everyone, I encourage you to help out with that ;-;

catloaf ,

Why not cross post some of the content yourself?

sunaurus ,

Interesting! We’ve had quite a noticeable spike of sign-ups on lemm.ee as well

Blaze OP ,

I have been mentioning it on Reddit a few times, so glad to see that helps!

Not saying it’s the bots… but it’s the bots, isn’t it?

dogsnest ,
@dogsnest@lemmy.world avatar

This guy bots.

We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups

Blaze OP ,

Thanks for the insight!
