There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

God I really hope its not dead. I know everyone suggests voyager but I don't like the gestures and it feels slower than just having buttons.
You can have gestures disabled on voyager and just use the buttons

I created an account a while back now, but it’s been mostly inactive since then. I’m liking it a lot more here!
Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move
i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation... "policies"

Reddit, when the walls fell

I'll still check sometimes on Reddit when I'm at my desk if I feel like it and I've got time, so like barely anymore.
When 3rd party apps died I moved here.
After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you'll get banned, I'm just waiting to catch ban over there.
i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though... which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years

Speaking of users, whatever happened to Flyingsquid?
Idk I was just thinking that last night, hasn't been active in like 2 weeks. I hope they're ok

Just curious, what was difficult about finding a way to get back here?
Is it because the various instance names are hard to remember?
My theory is that’s why so many new people end up on Lemmy.world. Many of the other popular instances have host names / domain names that are more difficult to remember and to tell someone about verbally.
Yeah it was definitely partly due to the domain names. But a big part of it is that I'm kinda a dumb ass when it comes to this stuff sometimes. I think I went on the playstore and searched lemmy? I honestly can't remember. But the guide I followed was pretty much tailor made to dumbasses/lazy people. I'm so glad I saw it

I use voyager and don't use any gestures. Looks like I turned them off in settings. And they have a ton of options for things you can adjust in the settings. I was a reddit is fun app user and am completely happy with voyager. But I'm also almost always just lurking. So more active users might have more problems but with how much you can adjust it I doubt it.

A slightly different graph from Fedecan shows the user growth more clearly without the Hexbear blip
Highest daily growth since 2023 at 1.2k per day the past few days.
Nice, I didn't know fedecan hosted graphs like this. The fediverse.observer graph has a weird scale and Fedidb has also been weird lately, so this is a good alternative.

just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
very good way to put it

Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Well at least Nicole from Toronto in their inbox.

I think since coming over here I've done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I'd say that's a lot of progress.
I've done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.

Sync for Lemmy is a good app' if anyone is looking for RIF like experience. Sync
As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.

basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.
as for which instance; where you from? what you into?

Thank you for your service 🫡
I'm the same as the other guy, my rule is that I only post/comment about Lemmy when I use my reddit acount.
I used to only comment a few times per month when I used reddit but as soon as I started using Lemmy I started making hundreds of comments per month. Especially in the first few months, I got to 1k comments super fast. Since then I've slowed down a bit but still way more active than I was on reddit. This is my alt account btw.
It's so much more rewarding to participate on Lemmy for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it feels like people actually care enough to read my comments and respond. On reddit it often seemed like shouting into the void. Plus, it's a great feeling to be a part of something that's community based and not just soulless corporate slop. Every time I check reddit, it feels so miserable and I wonder how I ever tolerated that site for so long.

The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you're happy with the instance then there's no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.
The "ml" in the domain is supposed to represent "Marxist Lennist" which the ideology the instance is aimed at.
