~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.
A 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?
As much as I want the project to succeed it’s unusable currently, and with more Reddit communities coming back from the blackout, their opportunity to claim the user base in the long run is already passed.
The stats over the last month are impressive (if you can get them to load), but it’s going to be a flash in the pan if they can’t make the website function, and I fear the ship has already left the dock.

I'm blanking out my 10 year old account (after requesting my data dump) sometime around the first if they don't do something to reverse course.
I requested GDPR exports for my accounts 8 days ago, nothing turned up yet. I have shreddit lined up to run as soon as I get my zips.
If so - I made the offer to sell my accounts to any GDRP person for $1 such that I can make those requests for data (ill pay more than $1, its just to make it an actual transaction)
I have 17 years of content contributed to reddit... and I'd like to kill it all.
Well if we hugged the stats page to death, as it appears to me, some of us will need more context. Like what is Lemmy?
"Federated" means someone can pop up an instance, and even if the server isn't hosting any content, it can act your "view" into the fediverse.

I don’t think this is off topic, because this is a common theme across all of Lemmy. Not necessarily no caching, but abysmal performance across the board. As much as I want the project to succeed it’s unusable currently, and with more Reddit communities coming back from the blackout, their opportunity to claim the user base in the long run is already passed.

And the team behind Lemmy didn't exactly get much notice either, so they might not have even tried to get stuff to scale well.

And the handful of unpaid developers behind Lemmy didn't exactly get much notice either, so they might not have even tried to get stuff to scale well.

To be fair, load testing is hard to get right. Plenty of well resourced and smart teams screw it up, and have outages due to scaling issues. And the team behind Lemmy didn't exactly get much notice either, so they might not have even tried to get stuff to scale well.

Exactly! And also keep in mind that all of this is open source created by volunteers like you and me in their free time. Imagine you and me working on a side project like this during weekends. We will probably be focusing on implementing the protocol right, fixing all those rendering and mundane CSS issues, making sure the login and session management does not have security holes. Essentially get all the functional s…
It’s very difficult for a volunteer run operation to scale up at short notice. The same time Lemmy has to if it wants to capture disaffected Reddit users.
