Lemmy.world grew from around 51000 total users the moment 3rd party reddit apps started to shut down on June 30 to 71000 total users at the time of this post (July 1). That's a 40% growth in about 12 hours!

I'd like to say glad to bere here, but tbh it makes me sad to leave behind my Reddit account of almost a decade.
Lemmy look promising though (and still slightly confusing :)
I'm glad there's an impetus to change. I have some reservations about the fediverse, but I think it's got the right idea and will evolve into something better itself, or help us learn more about designing social media systems for users.
I burned my 11 year reddit account with edits and it felt liberating.
Same. I was 9 years 10 months deep into Reddit, just shy of putting in a dime, all through RiF, and I'll miss some of the super niche communities I found there.
Give kbin a shot if you find Lemmy confusing. I found it much more approachable personally.
