Whatever the number, I’ve definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I’m really glad to see more people joining and taking part.
Agreed. It’s really nice to see top posts having a lot of thoughtful engagement. Hopefully we’ll have enough to start seeing people branching out to smaller niche communities too.
The small niche communities are pretty much dead, sadly. But there for sure is hope!
It’s been amazing to feel like we’re part of something that’s growing so fast. I’ll miss Reddit but I expect Lemmy will fill in the role sooner rather than later.
For example, your comment is the first one I have seen that has over 30 upvotes since I came on board a week back.
I don’t doubt there’s a great amount of user growth, but it appears that many of those are account creation spam on instances with 1 active monthly user though.
Edit to add a comment I made on another post Basically there might be about 200k real users right now including lurkers, growing at a rate of basically 13.5k per day.
Soon, the novelty accounts are going to start showing up here again.

/shrugs. I got my old username. I’m happy.
Not https, your account will never be secure
Unfortunately most of the communities I’m interested in are ghost towns
The best way to solve that is post some links and get the ball rolling. Can’t get engagement without something to engage with. (I am guilty of not posting links myself lol)
