This is for June. Third party apps were still working, and personally I didnโ€™t change my Reddit browsing habit much during June. Now that third party apps are officially dead, Iโ€™ve been on Reddit a lot less, and been spending more time on Lemmy. Curious to see what the numbers look like for July.

I large number of people joined Lemmy before July. The user based for Lemmy jumped by 1600% if I remember right before July 1st

A 1600% increase in Lemmy could still be the result of a 3% drop in Reddit. Thereโ€™s a massive difference in scale between the two sites.

As per the above comment, a single stat rarely paints a complete picture.
