I stopped using reddit on the 9th of June. There were 1.21k total users on .world. At the time there were around the same number on beehaw, and they were still federated. There were 1.6k total users on .ml and no other federated instances had more than a few hundred total users. There were maybe a dozen total communities with anything resembling daily posts. I was willing to try to drop reddit at this point and started posting a bunch hoping it would grow. I claim no credit, and and no impact whatsoever. I'm just thrilled you are all here, and to those that are just migrating, this place is better than reddit ever was. Posting about reddit is just a part of the breakup process, but you'll move on quickly.
You are still the core community here. Don't wait for someone else to start posting. This place will continue to grow with or without you. Your core interests and niche communities can grow even faster than they have so far, the only person holding you back is you. Post about stuff as much as possible. Ask questions, vote, and be positive. It really makes a difference. This place is all about you, us, and our community, so share and be a part of this thing!
Thank you! And Iโm doing my best
