I’d love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.
I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.
Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.
Check out r/lemmino lol.
Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd
Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:
I like theoldreader. It looks like Google’s reader from way back when
thanks, it looks nice!
I use this app on Android to view my feeds that are on that site:
looks nice, but I’m a PC user
EDIT: Sorry, I missed the “web based”. Today I’m incredibly distracted.
Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.
Ive been using FreshRSS for years. You can either selfhost it or use one of the public instances.
A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It’s also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?
Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.
I’d be terrible as a mod, but I might be up to preprare the posts when I hit my vacation in a few weeks.
Also, there’s already a community, but with low traction right now.
Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol
The bots won’t stop. And probably have increased. So it’ll be tough to see without slices we’ll never get
That’s the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how “little impact” the protests and migration have had.
Here’s a little secret: Reddit mods can’t know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they’re no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots — they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.
For me, that triggers a great big “Hmmmm”.
And they’ll never differentiate them. If their investors know how much of their traffic was just bots they’d divest immediately
Wish someone would create a bot to copy r/HyruleEngineering to the community here.
You can request that on lemmit.online if I remeber the name of the instance correctly
They are probably confused about how to use an app that behaves like an ad carousel
I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.
Fediverse software API documentation is bad across all fediverse software.
Yeah, that’s a problem with a lot of FOSS passion projects. We devs kinda like writting code, but not really documenting it. Hopefully with the influx of devs helping that will improve
It’s like almost every piece of software, period.
I don’t think that is contained to FOSS passion projects ;)
Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.
These days the standard is to create an API Doc out of a OpenAPI document generated from the code itself. Someone will probably contribute to it at some point.
I think having a link aggregator is going to be so great for the fediverse. It allows us to gather content from all over the internet and bring to to the often secluded fediverse.
It also means we can post links to fediverse discussions and draw people in.

There is r/Lemmy and r/LemmyMigration
They did ban lemmymigration, right?
How would a Lemmy subreddit be useful? The only thing I could see would just be a pinned message regarding general guidance
Advice on what instances to join, coordination to move communities, technical advice for those communities to form instance, etc.
I come from Reddit and that would be absolutely helpful, I’m still getting around how everything works.
Feel free to ask if you face any difficulties
Just need ma boi Sync.
So far, all the lemmy apps I’ve used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.
Looking forward to Sync, though!
They’ve progressed very rapidly. Personally I don’t think we’re still in the “very buggy” era. I’m participating daily without major issues. There’s just a lot left to build.
I just use the mobile web interface. Good enough for now.
wefwef was renamed voyager a few days ago
I’m going to keep calling it WefWef since I like that name more lol. Not a fan of the Voyager renaming.
Haven’t reinstalled the app so that it is still called that on my phone.
Probably wanted to keep with the space theme, given that it’s the go-to for Apollo users right now. I think it’s a neat little nod.
Thunder has been amazingly stable for me. I’ve tried everything else for android and they all stagger with loading, while thunder is buttery smooth.
Voyager is great too but I find it struggles keeping its place if you scroll as much as I do.
Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything’s fast. How do I edit a comment, though?
weird ux but you have to hold your phone upside down when you long press it
Memmy is working very well
I don’t think lemmy is still growing. I might be wrong but this graph https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
is trending down and i’ve seen a lot of smaller magazines/communities that haven’t had any posts for 1-2weeks by now.
I try to help that problem at little but i doubt lemmy&kbin has >100k active users right now.I think that’s normal. People will try out Lemmy but if they notice that the communities they frequent doesn’t have a lot of content they’ll just leave back to reddit.
We can hope for organic growth but it’ll take a long time (especially with how big reddit is)
They might be using some smoothing, because all lines are noise-free. and the last point might just be an artifact. It looks like a constant growth
According to the graph it accounts for active users within the last 30 days. 30Days ago the reddit strike started and an influx of people started posting. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people haven’t been here since. There was a lot of performance and other issues with lemmy&kbin at that time.
There is also always a flurry of people trying out accounts in multiple instances whenever there’s a migration wave, so not only are we seeing people who dipped a toe in only to leave, or go back to Reddit, but we’re seeing the effect of people understanding how the ecosystem works better and settling into a single active account.
