What counts as an active user? Voting? Commenting? Posting?

Now show us a chart differentiating between robots and sentient users.

If every lemmy.world active user committed to just 2 posts and 2 comments per day there would be 27,000 new posts and comments to read daily, or more than 1,000 per hour on average.

Great, but all this activity also has a subtle downside. Lemmy.world is by far the slowest federating instance I see on the Lemmyverse. It typically takes hours for posts and comments to reach my instance.

Hopefully improvements to Lemmy will make federation faster and more efficient. Sidekiq seems to do a good job on large Mastodon instances.

It's great to see Lemmy world growing so fast! As I'm still trying to grasp how to the Fediverse works in practice, how much does one need to 'trust' the lemmy instance?

If the instance is shut down or the owner enacts policies the community doesn't agree with, what happens to all of the content and communities in the instance?

now they just need to update to 0.18. I've been back on lemmy.ml since the update. The scrolling kills it for me.

[–] Solo 6 points 1 year ago

They're not updating til 0.18.1 comes. The lemmy devs got rid of captcha in 0.18 and lemmy.world devs asked if they could add it back in 0.18.1 and they agreed so once that happens it will update. Said there would be too many bots without captcha.

Love seeing the growth!

I guess the percentage of inactive lemmy.ml user is higher due to the higher percentage of older accounts.

[–] orclev 7 points 1 year ago

Probably a decent number of them like me where when I signed up there back then it was basically just lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml to pick from. Now that there are other options I created accounts on a couple other instances for redundancy (plus at the time lemmy.ml was buckling under the load) as well as having content and moderation rules I liked better. I'd bet a large number of those inactive accounts are actually active on lemmy, just on different instances.

how cool is that!

[–] zombuey 6 points 1 year ago

man all I did was make a couple of comments on reddit.

[–] possiblylinux127 5 points 1 year ago

I might jump ship in order to bring balance to the force
