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!
EDIT: Looking for a lemmy app? Here’s a whole list: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
I hope more communities move to lemmy, especially the mental health/support ones.
As for lemmy in general, I have to say that apart from the lack of videos, it’s not bad at all, even the android apps are already better than the official reddit one (terribly slow for some reason).
What are the app options? Didn’t see any in the play store
I’m using liftoff:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liftoffapp.liftoff&pli=1
Apk of liftoff if the google play won’t let you install the app: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases/tag/v0.10.1

Awesome thanks I’ll give it a try. Using Connect right now and love it so far. Also got Jerboa and will be trying it as well.
Jerboa is nice but it’s having some widespread bugs right now. Hopefully things get ironed out with the next update, but for now the instance lemmy.world is having trouble communicating with the rest of the Fediverse. I had weird issues with Connect too where it wouldn’t let me post because it didn’t recognize community names, despite being on the community before hitting the “post” button.
I’m browsing in Firefox at the moment, it seems stable at least.
Feeling the hit with Jerboa as well, but Firefox is running nice and smooth with Lemmy right now. Going to definitely work with more apps to see which work best.
I can’t even sign in. It basically says that my account doesn’t exist.
Check that your instance is correct (lemmy.world) and try again when the server works better. Right now the server seems to be having a lot of trouble loading pages, etc, and maybe that’s why it’s not working for you.
Yeah, seems it was a server issue. I had used the correct instance last time as well, but it worked now. Thanks!
The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy app
Reddit’s official app sucks down battery too. Someone tested it against Apollo. It sucks.
