I love Lemmy, but as others have already said, the vast majority of these signups are likely bots. Pretty spooky.

Another thought: making a community can also be a nice structured incentive to check in on your hobby regularly. I like looking for videos or articles to link to for my yugioh community even though there’s not many people subscribed - it gives me an opportunity to interact with and think about the game in different ways than I normally do.
Oh boy 29999 friends that I can be obnoxious towards on main
We banned lemmygrad? I’m not a fan of that either tbh
These guys fucking suck, no doubt, but I really prefer that we put the impetus on users to block communities they don’t like rather than pursue total defederation
Stumbled on this album one night in my youtube recommends, and kept coming back. A great listen.
I like “cliffs” on the theory that users are called lemmings, so the communities are the cliffs we choose to run off together
Yes! Exactly that
Hoping a few people into yugioh make the jump. They had their faults, but the yugioh subs were a good place to talk about the game and get news.
I’ve set up a community on here - please feel free to stop by and check it out!
Very satisfying to see that graph go vertical starting in June lol
Whoa, I downloaded it and this is way better than using the browser on my phone
There’s an app?
Oh, whoops. I should have checked! Thanks.
WhitePeopleTwitter. That sub seemed to do nothing but emanate lukewarm political takes or the worst humor imaginable - and reposted twitter screenshots are the lowest form of content
Awesome to see so much growth. I just joined yesterday and I guess I’m not alone!
This is too quick of a movement towards defederation. Except in the most extreme of circumstances, it should be up to individual users whether they want to engage with other communities, and users can always block communities they find objectionable. It is not in the best interest of users to treat them as being incapable of making their own reasoned decisions about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the fediverse, I can just make a new account on a different instance and start engaging with Lemmy that way. Anyone have any recommendations on alternatives to lemmy.world?
