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:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

Here from Reddit, have high hopes. This is a marketing problem though, I doubt even 1% of Reddit users know of something like lemmy at all

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It doesn’t help that all comments mentioning Lemmy are instantly shadowbanned or removed.

I tried in 5 or 6 different subreddits. Different phrasing, sometimes not even outright saying the name, definitely not linking out. None of them made it through.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 3 points 56 minutes ago (1 children)

That's probably the mod team rather than the site as a whole. /r/RedditAlternatives has regular discussions about Lemmy and the Fediverse, so at least that sub is ok

I have it linked in the subs I mod there. I welcome Reddit relieving me of duty, those subs are being neglected ngl lmao. :)

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 3 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

They definitely lose by missing you!

Some of them are. Mine was.

[–] Wrongputbet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Is there a merch store or sumthing we can buy to advertise this awesome place and help support it?

[–] Ashiggan@eviltoast.org 5 points 2 hours ago

Just joined eviltoast and using voyager. Loving the switch from reddit.

I've only been on Lemmy a few days and i can already tell i like it, but can understand the frustration in figuring out what an instance is, or what a federation is. But i personally have used linux for years, i'm a huge nerd, and i hate the way places like Reddit and facebook are owned by republican idiots who refuse to let people talk poorly about the orange cult leader.

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nah thats not a frustration, just your ego settling down. Real frustration is realizing most instances die or have shit registration functions, along with most having unfamiliar names that you'll also have to remember. Most apps have been a nightmare with this, genuinely just say fuck it and dont even care about this account.

The federation system is cool but not unique, its just what all servers have been doing and now theres a choice being handed to the user as well. It doesn't really defeat a centralized system.

I always though about something like folding at home but for a social media. Essentially the same thing as a centralized network, but with a scheduled 'decay' as main issue for large sites is the actual horde of content. Text based instances could have longer decay time with a refresh basis for visits. With an archival option for regular post, and a trend option for porn-centric instances.

Porn often exploit and subverts most services like this however I think it is a very influential thing that cannot be banned nor freely allowed. However, one can only really generalize so much about porn - but it is a strong way for those in power to subscribe others to their ideals. So noticing trends like the porn hub chart is important. Someone should study 4chan porn trends since 2012 to now. Huge dynamic shift in thread titles alone. All that free fox marketing of the fappening really got their target demographic hooked and the later pepe dogwhistle. Hooboy.

shit registration functions

... and there are some shit moderators here, just like on Reddit

... and there are some really high-value communities here, because of really good moderation -- just like on Reddit

EDIT: But it's Federated, and therefore much more self-healing in that decentralized Internet way

Reddits transformation into a Nazi sympathizing shithole was remarklably swift. Don’t get me wrong, that place was going downhill the second they decided their user base was a product, but it pivoted from generic corporate advertising shithole to fascist friendly nuclear waste pit with remarkable speed. So many micro pud incels willying to volunteer for the brown coats, it’s disgusting.

[–] sarmale@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, reddit turned nazi now? I haven't really paid attention to it for some time, what happened?

[–] notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Their heavy “anti violence” push is directed at shutting down dissenters of the current American regime. You can post all the horrific violent things iCE and the admin are doing to your hearts content but if you so much as “hope” an ice agent or Temu Hitler dies, some jackboot licking Nazi sympathizing mod comes to remove your post, because hoping that an evil person dies is apparently the same as violence. I’ve been personally told by one of the admins that hoping someone dies of natural causes is treated as a call to violence, because they’re Nazi sympathizing troglodytes.

They’re eagerly chugging Goebbels cock at the mere thought of an extra dollar, because they’re Nazi sympathizing capitalist scum. The only thing they deserve is a bullet in the Brain and an unmarked grave in a corn field so they can be useful for once in their miserable existence.

Also, they continue to allow /r/conservative despite the fact that it might as well be called /r/fascismrecruitmentanddiscussion. If you make 0 effort from keeping fascists from congregating at your site, congrats you’re a fascist site. Get fucked, I hope Reddit burns to the ground in a fantastic flameout as a lesson to all these scumbags.

I'm curious what it will look like when school starts

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Why would this change anything?

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 14 points 6 hours ago

I think the active users per half month might be a more useful metric than total accounts because that includes all the dead accounts.

[–] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Tf happened on those 2 days?

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 8 points 5 hours ago

The crawler probably went down and did not record anything
