    Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.

      There are probably a lot of lurkers who don’t vote or comment, but there is no way to know their numbers

    We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups

    I’m new here coming from Reddit.

    Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.

    I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.

      The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

      But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

      Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬
