You know what's actually cool?

While many suppose that majority just moved back, they didn't! Less than half of users actually left Lemmy after an exodus, and now about what, 95% of users?..are actually from there.

Worrying that this is the CHUD invasion from parler or one of those pretend places to data mine hate and sell powdered eggs, lead pills and gold to mostly helpless idiots. Some comment sections have gotten noticeable shittier and less civil lately. We don't need growth for the sake of it.

dev'd an online course web app and website for a community college. users/activity was very cyclic. could see the hits going up every Sunday night as students tried to catch up before Monday class. usage normally dropped around weekends/holidays. maybe similar surges depending on time of day.

One issue with Reddit was the extreme even obsesive moderation level. It was totally frustrating to post stuff in some subs, lot of new people just avoid it even experienced users like me.

On the other hand… there’s a lot of Lemmy threads with flame wars that should really be pruned from the post by mods. The flame wars bring a lot of negativity and noise that takes away from the actual discussion

How do they handle bots? Seems to me this statistic could be heavily inflated. Or do they account for that?

Here is their listing of users per instance, looks a bit sus to me ("Benutzer" means "Users"):

It's active users, not total users. I'm not sure on the exact metric, but users need to post, comment, vote or whatever to be counted for this statistic.

I can't stand reddit's god-awful user interface.

Both old and new reddit suck balls. I can't believe someone got paid for that.

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

I didn't mind old Reddit but the new UI just feels too busy and annoying

That's good. A lot of communities have been slowly dying 🫤 I've been using Mastodon more and more but it's not the same.

I was having difficulty with servers being down and nothing loading when I first deleted Reddit. Things finally seem stable so I've been a lot more active.

The Lemming went unto spez and said, "let my people go!"

Recently it seems like the Fediverse is a lot more quiet than before. Even in the tech and privacy communities I follow things have been rather slow lately.

Has to be all the yiff here.

I was just wondering if this month would be the one where we see another upward trend. Glad that seems to be the case!

[–] setsneedtofeed 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just wish more people were talking about Warhammer and Battletech here.

Ahem.

It's winter break for me so that's why I'm going to use it a bit more.
