From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source.

An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. There are currently almost 200k total users spread across the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances.

We're really building something here!

Agreed. I feel like the apps in development are trying to make the signup process a bit easier though, so we’ll see how that goes.

[–] Vulnicura 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which apps? In many of them I didn't even see a way to register.

I’m currently using the beta for Memmy on iOS. I think it’s prepping for an App Store release today. It’s a good foundation and has promise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it available for download?

[–] baggyspandex 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here it is on TestFlight for the beta - https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

I do believe I got an alert today that it’s prepping for an App Store release later in the day.

Question; cuz I’ve been using Memmy too, and I haven’t had a chance to read into it much. I don’t have the ability to upvote/downvote/reply to individual comments in the app. I’m not sure if it’s a bug on my end or if he just hasn’t had a chance to implement those features yet. Do you have that same issue with it?

[–] baggyspandex 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had that issue occasionally. Killing the app and restarting fixed it.

[–] BecomingTheFalcon 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. I’ve been having that issue non stop. I may try to send in a bug report or something tonight.

[–] baggyspandex 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd also caution that right now is probably a very unique time for the Lemmy world.

[–] BecomingTheFalcon 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s true, that’s why I didn’t file a report right away. I’m sure all of these devs are absolutely inundated with bug reports and feature requests right now.

[–] baggyspandex 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, you know what...(im still learning too). Apparently if you are viewing content from all instances (like those your account arent signed into), you cannot vote or comment in those posts.

[–] BecomingTheFalcon 1 points 1 year ago

Turns out I’m an idiot and I didn’t realize it was a swipe action in the app. I thought I was just missing the reply button.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you using the gestures? Swipe left on a comment to reply. I’m using the app right now to reply to you

[–] BecomingTheFalcon 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s exactly what it was lol. I spent a minute searching for someone else with the same problem last night and realized what I’ve done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I forget if it was covered in new account onboarding or not, but it might be worthwhile letting the dev know that it’s not always clear

[–] miega 2 points 1 year ago

if you're in iphone, go to wefwef.app with safari and save it as an app, it's infinitely better than default

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I second this. Memmy is the most stable and well developed app so far, apart from wefwef, although wefwef is only a web app currently

[–] nieceandtows 11 points 1 year ago

Memmy for iOS has an onboarding screen starting with ‘do you know how fediverse works’

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most of the devs that worked on 3rd party reddit apps are remodeling to support lemmy. So we are about to get some really good quality apps in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

[–] Hoffen 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a list or overview of these hopefully coming apps? I am using Liftoff right now but it’s en beta and lacks a lot compared to Apollo. Would like to test these out when they are coming. Until then I’ll just use Liftoff and suggest features for them to add.
