On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.
Great news! I wonder how many people have more than one account. I just made my second one because my ‘main’ server is down a lot lately.
Same here. I think we would see tools and features that would facilitate switching your server.
I had been using Masotodon as my main social media before, but gladly find myself on Lemmy a whole lot more. Masotodon is certainly not my type of social media, the Twitter format and lack of algorithm kills it for me. Lemmy fills that Reddit gap, and Sync makes it feel like I’m on Reddit again. Though the website has a long ways to go. Lemmy still has a lot of features to go and things to figure out to be a Reddit killer, but I feel confident we’ve hit a healthy size and are relatively stable right now.
Biggest thing I think that needs to get worked on though is to give smaller communities better visibility. You almost never see them because they get buried by the popular communties.
I’m not sure how Reddit did it, but they’d show smaller communities to show up on Hot feed pretty often to give them more exposure. We need a form of that.
One thing you can do is to subscribe to tags (does not work in the Android app) when searching for them. Then you will get more than just the posts you subscribed to. This is somewhat ok, but I also would like a feed for things I could be interested in…
Wow its Crazy, I think this is the end of an era for centralized social media. #fuckyoufacebook #fuckyoureddit #fuckyoutwitter
We got almost one percent of their users. Yay. Those fuckers are not going away any time soon. The best we can hope for is having a usable alternative here that can resist enshittification a bit longer.
Most people don’t care about ethics /politics or the networks and corporations. They will use what’s convenient — familiar facebook where friends and family already are, instagram where you get (this frustrates me the most) announcements from cool places about events, twitter where shitshtorms and instant news happen and so on.
None of my friends moved or know about Fediverse. Some heard about Mastodon.
Lets keep on keepin on!
