Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.
This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic
I used to lurk like crazy on reddit. I had a nearly 12 year old account that mainly had a few comments here and there months apart, and only a few posts but ever since moving to Lemmy I've found myself actually posting relatively frequently to help build some of the smaller communities I'm in that have also migrated.
Only if the content is organic. Look at [email protected] . Full of bot posts from reddit with 0 comments. Even if one of them gets a comment, it would get drowned out by the subsequent bot posts. Blindly filling a community with bot posts would eventually make people unsub from it.
That was my initial thought. The bots are working overtime.
No doubt, it’s a chicken or egg problem.
Was waiting for Sync upgrade and finally I'm a daily active user of Lemmy. Finally I will be useful for the community 🥂
Precisely this. Sync was Reddit for me. Now, Sync is Lemmy for me.
Having the sync app has made the transition so much easier. I don't know if the same level of discussion will ever happen here, but I'm going to give it a try. I'm done going to the bot farm over there
The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.
man, I gotta admit I'm here solely because of Sync. no idea about the content yet, just enjoying the smooth ride of the app. (after the janky atrocity of the official reddit app. ;)
all the subreddits i love had no visible immigration to lemmy so i will have to wait a while to see the change
Over half my feed is just low effort memes or auto posted arstechnica articles. Does this data include bot posts?
Half the posts are also just people specualting about activity on lemmy.
Also, there is approximately 50% of postings reserved for whinging about the speculation of activity on Lemmy.
I mean I’ve been posting Moldy Memes on the memes page. Mainly just to share my ancient saved stuff, and to help boost the meme page up with more posts. I do understand the frustration, but hopefully more, active users will come around.
So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!
Happy to be here, doing my part. Thanks to all of you, that made it possible!
Honestly thats all Lemmy needs. Just more content body. This software is already a really amazing drop in replacement for reddit. To be honest its easier to navigate the federation aspect with Lemmy than it is for other federated services like mastodon in my opinion.
I bit the bullet after I read there the Sync app was released. Now I'm lurking until I find the communities I love best... and it feels like they're already starting to spring up. If I had the time to, I'd make and mod them myself.
Man, how are you guys keeping up with the servers and increase in traffic?
More posts like this. Data is beautiful
And a hearty F.U. to reddit
This is surprising. Hopefully organic driven growth instead of bullshit statistics like threads and their stupidity.
If RiF ports their app to Lemmy, have it as nearly functionally as it was on Reddit as possible while accommodating the ways lemmy is different, I think it would be a winner.
There is also a very clear upwards trend I would say 😁
i'm seeing a lot more content here recently, which is why I keep coming back.
Want to see more people commenting on threads that have nothing to do with how well Lemmy is doing.
Ya I'm surprised it moved that fast but that's awesome, be sweet if it keeps up the momentum and gets as big as Reddit.
Someone migrate Qanon Casualties to Lemmy 🤕
Be the change you want to see in the world!
What happened on July 29th?
At first I thought it was Sync coming out, but it came out on August 2
There was a problem with lemmy.world where it would not sync with other federation. It has been fixed now.
Thank for helping me fight my Social Media addiction. You guys made it look easy
What caused that giant leap a few days before end of July?
That was mostly me once I found out that Lemmy had NSFW servers.
Could you license this image under CCBY so that it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? I'd add it to here. Let me know if that's okay or if CCBY is mentioned somewhere.
Well I'm not helping much, just lurking with a few comments. Hell yeah go us
