    On a related note, I only browse Local ever since I signed up here a year ago and iirc back then Lemmy itself sometimes had less activity than lemmygrad. Because of this post I just checked it out again and fucking hell it’s grown.

    If/when hexbear federates just between them, lemmy and us the fediverse should be over 2k daily users soon.

        I was gonna edit my post, because I clicked around some more and saw that too. There’s even a Porn lemmy now lmao. Mad how much everything has grown. Is all of that from the reddit thing or has it been growing over the past year?

          vast majority of it is from the reddit thing. It had nice slow growth the last year but it exploded the last couple weeks

            Wild. I dismissed the reddit thing as some niche, performative stunt a few libs there would screech about for a day or two and didn’t really pay attention to it beyond that. Didn’t expect more than a couple handful of people making the switch tbh…seems like I was off by an order of magnitude or two lol

            Hope hexbear joins soon, then the based peoples combined can effectively stir some shit on /All and scare the libs there

              tbh I thought they might get bored and leave soon too, but it’s honestly starting to reach the point where we’re starting to see actual network effects popping up, I honestly think most of these new users will stay.

              And I have the same hope about hexbear lol
