The website now says that Lemmy is over 200,000 people, wow! This growth is amazing, I just hope the people joining are a bit more concrete though, and don’t treat this place as a fad.
I have sync on my phone for now, going to be hard to delete. But, Jerboa has been great and the community here is nice. I definitely plan on staying for a long time after 13 years on reddit.
Yes same here. I lurked on Reddit long before the digg migration. And actively participated for at least 10 years. I still have the apps installed on my phone. But I literally have not opened them in days. I still have new tab or two in a browser open to specific subs. That I check infrequently. But as soon as I’m aware of counterparts on the Fediverse I am more than happy with Lemmy. My couple hours a day of scrolling on Reddit are now devoted solely to Lemmy and finding new communities as well as starting one of my own. Something which I never did on Reddit.
And the whole time slashdot has always been there for us. Actually I am kind of amazed that they are still around. But that is definitely old old old guard.
I dont know if you saw, but LJ just announced that Sync for Lemmy is now a thing happening in the next few weeks. I am very excited to see it coming over.
I did see, thank you! I read it on his discord, and could not believe it. Very excited, and I await with anticipation for the minimum viable product he is trying to get out in about 3-6 weeks.

11 years with an account. Remember digg before that, and stumbleupon before that… I find this has been a nice change.
