Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.

The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.
Lemmy feels like Reddit 10-15 years ago, which is great.
Yup! As someone with a 16 year old reddit account, I’ve seen it all. This feels like back in the day
The grit of a new community site is what I missed
Finally made the switch, looking forward to doom scrolling here :)
ABANDON ALL HOPELESSNESS YE WHO ENTER HERE
We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
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.
It’s funny, because it’s not even a very hard barrier of entry to overcome, just takes some patience, but it’s apparently enough to keep a lot of low effort content out.
If people didn’t choose the easy route when given the option, North America would not be suffering from an obesity epidemic. Why make something healthy and time consuming when fast food is so conveniently available?
