Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000
(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).
We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
Sure, but the average reddit-user doesn't frequent /r/RedditAlternatives unless they're looking for one.
The average reddit user isn't indeed looking for an alternative, so they're unlikely to welcome any suggestion anyway
Trust me, I've tried several times
Tbh I'm not sure the average Reddit user is who we want to attract here anyway. Not to be elitist, but there might be a benefit to at least some barrier to entry. From a bot/spam/troll perspective as well.
