Dude most of us are already here 😀
you’ve seen nothing. Tomorrow it’s gonna be all over lemmy again “hello I’m a refugee, how is lemmy profitable without ads?”, or “admins should make sure we have this thing X like on reddit”
“Interface is unusable, I’ll come back some other time” or “what’s the best app for lemmy?”
To be fair, the interface is janky.
Yeah a bit but it’s getting better. Early days and all that.
yeah
Do you think most people act before the bad stuff happens? Or after?
FWIW I deleted my Reddit accounts on 6/8 and started checking out Lemmy this week after a couple weeks of sorely missing Reddit and trying to make other platforms fill the void.
well, they panic while bad stuff happens…
but act? most people always only react, never act.
That’s what I meant, most people aren’t going to look for Lemmy until what they are used to actually stops working.

Actually, the discretisation will probably be like:
70% just download the official Reddit app and don’t mind
20% leave the site and don’t look for alternatives
10% look for alternatives
And half of them choose Lemmy
So we might get like 5% of Reddit’s entire 3rd party userbase across all of Lemmy. Which sounds tiny but is actually frighteningly large.
I think your 70% is high.
People chose 3rd party apps. Whether that’s because they’ve been there longer than Reddit having their own app (like I was), not liking Reddit’s app, or something else they still opted to use it via something unofficial.
Reddit’s app is garbage and invasive. I’ve got duck duck go’s privacy thing and tried Reddit’s app a few months back with it. It had more blocked requests than anything else on my phone. On top of that it was the worst experience I had with any app to access Reddit.
I don’t know how much I think your 70% is high, but I bet it is. On top of that I think some percent that do use it via official app will jump off in the coming weeks.
All that said I could also see the other numbers adjusting too, so the amount of new users next week could still be in the 5% neighborhood.
Jokes on you, I’ve been here a while
I would love if third party apps added a banner linking to Lemmy. That would be great.
Well, some of them are literally switching to working with Lemmy, instead of reddit.
that would be nice… but also kbin support.
Artemis will work with Kbin first, it seems.
Sync for Lemmy has also said Kbin support would come, but later.
Sync user here. I joined yesterday only because I saw the dev is working on a sync for Lemmy app.
It’s been amazing. The platform is coming alive before our eyes. It wasn’t quite hitting critical mass when I joined, but now, if it hasn’t already, it is about to. Sync, Boost, and others, will each bring anothe surge of activity as they launch, I’m sure.
RIF has fallen.
Here from Boost, seems like there’s a lemmy version on the horizon too
me too thanks
(memes aside, I’m looking forward to it)
