To take a step back and see how far we've gone, Discuit, another link aggregator created around one year ago, published their weekly report - 245 weekly active users (detailed report in link) (discuit.net)

Discuit is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)

Lemmy has 48k monthly active users (mau): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Mbin has 862 mau: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Piefed has 133 mau: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

On Tildes site, I counted around 25 posts per day: https://tildes.net/?order=new

We can see that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit and Tildes (not federated) vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed

Nope. Discuit is not a part of the fediverse. They also seem to dislike the fediverse, as far as calling it something that can never become mainstream any day soon.

Because of centralization and the dev's delusions of being able to cover the fees for running the service can be fully provided by donations will eventually get it to be enshittified. What a beautiful person.

Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

done

what a retard

Probably didn't need the personal insult. Reddit with it's CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I'm happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I'd be happy for Discuit to do well too.

@AsudoxDev how can they expect to compete with reddit/lemmy - with 250 mau - and without fediverse ? curious to see how they’ll manage it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Crazy weak, considering how loud the Discuit advocates were at the time. Of course, mbin technically just adds to Lemmy, since they're almost fully federated.

Yes, kind of funny how things turned oud

mbin technically just adds to Lemmy

Indeed, same for Piefed

Is “Discuit” pronounced like Triscuit?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I recall there was a third-party Reddit app developer who pivoted to Tildes at the time of the APIcalypse. Anyone know what became of them?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The app has been released: https://tildes.net/~tildes/1g21/three_cheers_for_tildes_app_updates_and_feedback_may_2024_version_1_0_is_out_for_ios

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Cool! Glad it worked out for them. Great name too.

[–] solrize 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What is this thing and who is supposed to care? It looks sort of like Mastodon: is it related?

Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work to clean up and grow /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Indeed, but it still seems very quiet

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It's another reddit alternative.

48k? That's it???? No wonder this place is so dead.

Also, what's a mau?

[–] Schal330 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren't relevant to my taste. I don't think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't click on the comments section if they have no comments. I am on here so often it could be described not as monthly, not as weekly, not as daily, not as hourly, but as minutely.

So I wake up, I see about 60 stories......and maybe 45 of them have comments. Ok. I have content for about an hour. I blocked I think 4 users? I've not blocked any communities, and I haven't personally defederated from any instances, but I do reside on Lemmy.World which does defederate from quite a few communities.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is 60 stories for your Subscribed or Local feed?

[–] Lost_My_Mind 4 points 2 months ago

Subscribed. And I just counted, I'm subscribed to 161 different communities. And despite only subscribing to ONE political sub, my feed is mostly dominated by political stories.

Subscribed for me, doesn't look THAT different from All. Except All has porn, and linux.

Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users

It's an Egyptian cat.
