Lemmy's total users continues to surge to over 1.1 million, up from 740k yesterday!

It's mostly bots, but so is Reddit. The real story is, how many of these are active participants and contributors who'll generate content and start communities?
I’m not a bot, I used to post on Reddit only occasionally, (I was more of a lurker) and I only accessed it through the Apollo app. I strongly believe in the concept of decentralized platforms, and Apollo made Reddit more user-friendly by streamlining the tools, and reducing the number of ads. I recently joined Lemmy a few days ago and I already feel a surge of energy from enthusiastic migrant users like myself. If I thought my increased involvement here would contribute to meaningful discussions within the community, I will try to be more engaged. I hope that the influx of reddit users, including myself, can provide the boost that Lemmy needed without overwhelming the ‘instances’ themselves.

I'm not a bot

That's exactly what a bot would say, a-ha!

But no seriously, I hope there's enough of us here to make a meaningful difference; enough to give the internet a new 'front page'.
