Could Lemmy have something akin to r/all? I have always used Reddit more to discover new contents, trends, and communities then to check up on communities i already know (with a few exceptions).
Lemmy stats (users, posts, nodes, comments)
11–20 of 104 posts
Re: Lemmy stats (users, posts, nodes, comments)
#12~277k users, up from ~51k on June 1 319 nodes, up from 84 on June 1 Sure, this is nothing compared to Reddit's userbase, but we'll see in a couple weeks how big this will get.
It doesn't really matter if lemmy kills reddit. If a new community grows and survives after this whole thing, that's a win for everybody.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've been planning a jump across, but have been waiting it out to see if they see the error of their ways. Thus far they just keep jumping from one awful talking point to the next like a toddler trying to rationalize bad behaviour.
I've been planning a jump across I’m not sure why people think of it this way. Why not just create a lemmy account and try it out? There’s no physical stuff to move (unlike moving to a new apartment or house). You’re not required to delete your Reddit account either. Am I missing something here?
I think those are two independent actions. They would probably delete their reddit data regardless of Lemmy working out or not.

It’s because Lemmy isn’t actually compelling outside of a few niche circles.
The same can be said about Reddit. I’m not subscribed to any of the big subreddits there. I use it for niche communities. To me, that’s the whole point!
Lemmy’s having some growing pains right now (spinning wheel of death) but I’m confident they’ll be resolved. At that point, it’ll be much nicer to use, so I’m pretty happy with that.
As for people hoping to one day “jump over,” I think that’s a mistake with almost anything. Dip your toe in, don’t go “all in” on anything you’ve never used before. You’re much less likely to end up extremely disappointed that way.

#15A bit off topic, but why does it seem like not a single page on this site uses caching of any sort?
Every time it’s brought up and I click into it I’m met with minute(s) long loading screens. Surely they aren’t pulling all of these stats from every node every single page load right?

#16Looks like it’s down? Or very slow perhaps?

#17Would like to see reddit stats
I'm sure Reddit is prepared for a small contraction in their active userbase while also seeing a significant increase in monetizability of the remaining users.

#18I keep giving lemmy a try and I couldn't figure out what was bugging so much about browsing it. I finally realized I'm only seeing about 7 posts per window on lemmy as opposed to 12 on reddit. And now I'm realizing the content box is only 800px wide so comments feel really constrained. This seems like a weird style choice?
