GET READY FOR JULY 1st
Update: We are now past 140,000 users. Growth is still accelerating.
When I checked yesterday it was 91,000 users, it’s now 109,000 and counting up fast!
100,000 🎉

That’s over 9000!
I think we’re still a little bit short of 8.0995899866e+31681 users.
Yup. Just 1.007×10^3520 earths left :)
What, nine thousand?!
Nearly up to 20k new users in last 24 hours, it’s accelerating!
Putting them advanced maths skills to use!
This is amazing news. I’m thinking we’ve reached critical mass where it’s going to be self sustaining and worth using.
I’m a new user and I can’t really use it on mobile yet, kind of confusing
Jerboa seems to be doing a nice job.
And it’s constantly improving too! I just submitted a change to add better localization support and a Japanese translation.
Have you looked for Jerboa for Lemmy in you apps store? That’s what I’m using, for better or worse.
I started by using Jeroba and I’m having a very close experience to reddit (at least the one I have in boost). I won’t download the official app so once boost goes offline it’s over for me. Lemmy could sell a “great migration of 2023” badge to help with the upgrading costs.
Ditto. I’m going to miss boost. It just worked. I’m hoping they come do something here.
I’m in the same boat, need something else to fill my daily commute
I use F-Droid anyway, and imo everyone should, so I think its fine
I tried it but didn’t like it, and was a bit buggy. I ended up installing the website as app, that works okay.
Our baby grows up so fast <3
As one of those new users, I’m loving the potential of Lemmy and I’m enjoying finding my way around, but it definitely needs some UX enhancements, especially around federated communities.
Good to know! I expected that an influx of users would propel development, hopefully that momentum keeps up.
Very interesting. Anyone know why there was a huge drop in Total users for Lemmy from Nov 3 to Nov 4, 2022?. Total users went from 55178 to 37901.
Thanos snapped obviously don’t you remember half of humanity turning to dust https://tenor.com/0CEG.gif
Good for Thanos for not forgetting to delete the Lemmy accounts of those who are snapped out of existence.
The great dying of Nov 3rd ofc
Not to be confused with the second great dying of Nov 4th.
Never forget.
Did some somewhat sizable instance close down or become invisible to that site or something like that maybe?
I mean we are called Lemmings for a reason. You didn’t get that memo?
Looks like a huge drop in user counts a few minutes ago too: Down to 75K as of the time I made this comment despite the chart showing a much higher number immediately before that. I’m guessing there’s something off when it comes to counting the different instances.
Where can I find these stats?
Here you go: [https://the-federation.info/platform/73]
I’ll update the main post with it too.
There’s definitely more nodes than listed there, and definitely users at those nodes.
Help us find them. I just clicked Lemmy on this site. Other sites has more lagged statistics currently
I actually like the interface a LOT better than (old) Reddit. I refused to use the new interface because “yuck!” and old.reddit.com doesn’t have a “dark mode,” so I view this as an upgrade, visually (along with other UX aspects). I’m definitely sticking!
RES has (had?) a dark mode for old reddit.
I’ve never used Reddit on mobile devices actually…
yep it does. RES was such a great addon made by such cool people. Cant wait to see the kind of things those people are making for Lemmy.
They potential is huge because it’s all open. If the community really wants something, it’ll be done.
Someones already made a browser extension that simplifies hyperlinking to other instance’s communities across the Lemmyverse.

@Senseibu Congrats guys 🎉
We are at 5k monthly active users. I find that stat more interesting.
Here are some of the monthly active user statistics for various social media platforms, according to the search results:
- Facebook - 2.96 billion monthly active users (MAUs) [1]
- YouTube - 2.56 billion MAUs[2]
- WhatsApp - 2 billion MAUs[3]
- Instagram - 2 billion MAUs[3][4]
- WeChat - 1.26 billion MAUs[2]
- TikTok - 1 billion MAUs[2]
- Facebook Messenger - 988 million MAUs[2]
- Snapchat - 557 million MAUs[2]
- Pinterest - 444 million MAUs[2]
- Twitter - 368 million MAUs[5]
It’s worth noting that these numbers are subject to change and may vary depending on the source. Additionally, there are many other social media platforms with significant user bases that are not listed here. When choosing which social media platforms to use for your brand, it’s important to consider the relevance to your target audience and the quality of engagement on each platform, rather than just the number of users.

Was initially surprised about WeChat not being higher just because my understanding was that it was the main social site in China with a lot of the ones popular outside of that country being banned, but I suppose practically nobody outside of China uses it and they are still a minority of the world, big as they are, so on second thought it makes sense. Seeing Pinterest above Twitter genuinely surprises me though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone talking about Pinterest, mentioning their Pinterest account, or linking to it, and tbh I don’t actually even know what sort of site it is or what it even looks like.
If you google some images, most of the results usually come from Pinterest
Don’t forget us kbin users too! We’re all in the same boat now
kbin.social still isn’t federating, right? I wasn’t able to access communities
@kbin.socialfrom LemmyThus I propose we rise an army to incorporate kbin into our glorious federation.
Indeed! That’s the beautiful thing about this whole decentralised magic. You can use the app (not just mobile app) that best suits you and your interests, and interact with anyone, anywhere.
It’s wonderful honestly.
Might be a dumb question, but I don’t see how I can interact with Kbin from Lemmy.
If I search for communities, I can see ones from other instances but not any from Kbin.
On kbin.social specifically, federation is currently broken. The server saw a lot of stress because of the influx of new users and the dev turned on the cloudflare check, so that instance won’t kneel down. That broke the federation, other instances cannot go through that check.
Oh. That’s unfortunate. Why do they need cloud flare again? Are there other instances of Kbin?
Cloudflare can protect against DDOS. In this instance the people are ddosing the server, although not intentionally. There are just a lot of people trying to open the site. So it’s not malicious but still an “attack”, which cloudflare’s service mitigates. In reddit it was called the “reddit hug of death”, when small sites kneeled down because a post got popular with their links in it.
And yes, there are, the second largest is fedia.io You can find more here:
Yeah those numbers aren’t correct, just fedia.io have more than that https://fedia.io/stats
And here isn’t correcteither https://the-federation.info/platform/184
If you add the users from other instances will more than that.Also when subreddits return public many users will go back to reddit
it warms my heart to see so many people slowly figuring this out. This is what the internet was meant to be all along.
Oh boy! By the way, there is such a huge ammount of fediverse services… By the way, WTF is Misskey? And how is has 1M users?
Misskey looks a lot like a federated Twitter alternative, kinda like Mastodon. It seems to be Chinese, which might be why most of us have never heard of it and why it has so many users.
@SuperIce @domage
Misskey is a Japanese twitter-like. It’s actually older than mastodon and very popular in Japan specifically. They have custom emoji reactions under posts, they have animation and advanced markdown, they can have cat ears on their profile pictures, THEY HAVE QUOTE REPOST, chat, advanced search features, etc.Misskey have been forked multiple times (foudkey, calckey, etc.) and those forks are more popular in English-speaking communities.
Governments around the world cannot control rebel developers looking for true freedom of speech
Really impressive! Also the overall vibe is super positive. Hope it keeps growing. There is a lot of potential.
So it’s about the size of a smallish-medium subreddit, then?
Edit: 10% of the size of r/rpg. Or about half the size of r/tarot.
How long have these subs existed? I doubt that either one grew by 150k users within the first week after being created, and the “reddit exodus” has only just begun… if this trend continues, lemmy.world won’t be at “just” 150k anymore in a month or two.
Not to mention a lot of those subs were “default subs” (subs that new users were automatically subscribed to when they signed up for Reddit) before Reddit got rid of those.
Both of these subs are 15 years old.
To be clear, I’m just presenting raw data, not making any inferences from it.
How much of reddit’s userbase is bots?
I honestly don’t know. Do you? If you can tell me what the percentage is, I can adjust the figures to take that into account.
40 million more to go! \o/
Reddit wasn’t built in a day :)
Let’s hope it falls within a day.
Please, no. The more people come to a platform, the worse it gets.
