Fediverse

I'm new, myself. I hope more people start coming over.

I've been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has. Also it's been incredibly impressive how quick lemmy improved over the last weeks.

Image Transcription: Line Graph

[A line graph is shown depicting the number of users on Lemmy over one month's time. The horizontal axis lists the date of each reading, with an interval shown for every day. The earliest date begins at '2023-05-28' and the most recent date is given as '2023-06-26'. The vertical axis measures the number of users, with intervals marked at every 5,000 users, with an upper limit of 50,000 users. There is a green trend like and a blue trend line graphed from plot points at every horizontal interval. The green line is labelled 'Active users monthly' shows increase over time. The line remains flat at approximately 1,000 users from the '05-28' date mark to the '05-31' mark, then begins to gradually increase to approximately 10,000 users, starting to show a trend similar to the beginning of an exponential growth curve. At the '06-11' date mark, the line begins increasing at a relatively steady rate, with the last marked date showing just over 45,000 users. There are two points in which the line shows an apparent indication of levelling off in user count, before then showing a sudden increase in users again, with neither of these points significantly impacting the overall upward trend. These points are at the dates '06-16' and '06-21'. The second graphed line, the blue line, is labelled 'Active Users Half year' and starts at approximately 3,000 users, but follows an almost identical trend shape as the green line as it increases approximately parallel to it. The blue line ends at around 48,000 users at the final graphed point.]

I'm here to boost that active user number. Hoping this takes off.

Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in

I have arrived!

Where can I buy Lemmycoin, getting FOMO here.

I think Lemmy's Fediverse is harder to censor as well? They have a sprawl of domains that can federate to censored ones.

Noice. To the moon!

Anybody knows if this counts kbin users as well?

Time to be part of the stats!

All it takes is a push to make owning your own server rather than working on someone else's server more attractive.

Hopefully improvements to scalability are received soon. Federation seems to be suffering a lot unless you are a local user on a big instance.

I'll also become active with this comment so I can be counted!
