The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.
Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.
They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people's eyes here. Just a question of time.
Speaking of sharing content, is there a way to crosspost around here yet?
Yes, when you make a post look at the line where the 'save post' button is at the bottom of the entry. There will be two overlapping squares. That's the crosspost button.
Never noticed that. Do any apps feature it too?
On Eternity, I have the three dot menu above posts that has 'Crosspost' as an option.
Edit: Didn't realise this was an year old comment, sorry.
Thunder does, but the body text is not automatically copied like in the web interface.

I'm usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.
I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I'm the only one posting so far, it's fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!
Please definitely don't be discouraged in the slightest, TPM.
Single-game forums were almost always the smallest gaming subreddits on Reddit, often times being several orders of magnitude smaller than the "gaming in general" communities.
But that special feeling of having other people passionate about that specific game you love can't be beat. Hang in there, and you'll definitely grow and get that engagement in time.

You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.
I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊

It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
This comment is so good it has -1 downvotes

We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
It's insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit's API bs!
From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!
I literally only tried Lemmy because of the RIF goodbye message. I'm here because for me, Reddit was Reddit Is Fun.

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts
The default "Active" sort option does that. Try "Hot" instead.
Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I'm not using Lemmy to its potential.
Try "sexy"

fuck spez?.... /s
Fuck spez for sure
Also I love your bio lol
Went to /all -> top post of all -> end up here
Love to see it
Hype is real. Feels like this is the place to be. Reddit 2011 vibes with the high quality discussions. It'll only get better. To the fediverse and beyond!
just keep making lemmy like sites better as reddit keeps getting shittier. i do hope reddit keeps making reddit worse.
Keep growing that number!
Since the 30th I've stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don't participate here as much because the content I'm seeing it's not as tailored to my interests as I'd like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.
Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.
But I'm very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.

The graphic seems to be like a wallstreetbets launch.
@Paulius@lemmy.world Does it only count Lemmy's posts, or does it include other compatible plateforms, such as Mbin?
Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don't think so, I think it's original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there's a lot going on!
BOOM! ...shaka-laka...
Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn't crap out on me.
Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.

We did it Lemmy! We've reached an arbitrary number of posts.
I definitely held out thinking they would change their mind about the API but day finally came and I made a Lemmy account and didn't look back
We all can be very proud.
Just joined. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy
Yay! I'm a happy bangwagoner :)
Leaving a comment to say I was here in the making of internet 3.0
