Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing
(media.piefed.social)
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:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
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
It doesn’t help that all comments mentioning Lemmy are instantly shadowbanned or removed.
They are not:
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.
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
Sure, but the average reddit-user doesn't frequent /r/RedditAlternatives unless they're looking for one.
The average reddit user isn't indeed looking for an alternative, so they're unlikely to welcome any suggestion anyway
Trust me, I've tried several times
Tbh I'm not sure the average Reddit user is who we want to attract here anyway. Not to be elitist, but there might be a benefit to at least some barrier to entry. From a bot/spam/troll perspective as well.
I have it linked in the subs I mod there. I welcome Reddit relieving me of duty, those subs are being neglected ngl lmao. :)
They definitely lose by missing you!
😘
Some of them are. Mine was.
