• Not bad. I’d like to see it grow to at least 500K. Reddit got too big when they became mainstream about 5 years ago. Was a good size twelve years ago when I first joined.

    Will be nice to see a wave of Apollo users come over now their app has stopped working.

    Seems like a ton of botted accounts were deleted since tonight so I can’t tell how many actual users registered on lemmy,
    but Kbins userbase has risen by 1010 as well since tonight!

    I should keep track of active users as well. Perchance. - Added

    Furthermore for the kbin stats visit this site and for the Lemmy stats visit this site

      • It depends slightly where it is posted, and whether somebody has previously shown interest.

        Kbin will see as much of a Lemmy instance as any other Lemmy instance… But a Lemmy post is only mirrored on a kbin instance (or another Lemmy instance) once somebody (anybody) on that instance has subscribed to the community it was posted in.

        For the most part that means yes stuff magically just shows up, but if you are seeking something more niche or specialist you might need to seek it out more directly.

        Same is true in the other direction, stuff posted in any of the large magazines here on kbin is going to be mirrored to most Lemmy instances, but smaller or new magazines might not see it unless or until somebody there proactively seeks it.
