Does anyone know how many people have left Reddit? - Lemmy.world

I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.

The Threadiverse (Lemmy & kbin) had less than 10k active users before June. Now there’s more than 126k active users. It doesn’t mean that they all left Reddit, but at least that they are active here since Reddit fucked things up.

That’s good to see. I know the first few days that I used Lemmy my feeds were pretty sparse. Now I can endlessly scroll though new content. I hope the growth continues.

And now that there is enough to infinite-scroll, that’s enough to satisfy any one user. Of course, it’s true that having more content will allow for a larger number of high quality posts and the ability to serve more niche communities, but at least there is a viable alternative for that Reddit itch now. It’s so much easier to uninstall Reddit apps than it was a month ago.

Yeah with lemmy i haven’t even thought about checking Reddit out. I can’t wait for the comment sections here to grow, a lot of posts only have handfuls of comments. I still don’t have the heart to delete Apollo yet, and I’ve caught myself opening the app out of habit. It might be about to time to fill that spot with lemmy.

Infinite scrolling requires jerboa to not randomly freeze up…(at least for us mobile app folk)

A good chunk of those could’ve made accounts but not stayed long. And how do they get those numbers? Because there were many people who did accounts in more than one instance.

Those are active users. The numbers are from fedidb, updated hourly. They are counting posts and comments as activity.
