Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source
I couldn't figure out how to log on here with my other Fediverse creds. Rather than, like, Google or something? I just created new accounts for each instance. I'd say it's a boon for anonymity, but I used the same username, soooo
As of right now you can't access the "front page" of each instance, so that would be a valid reason to retain several accounts (among many other perfectly valid reasons).
How you go to different servers is just by subscribing or following a link to a community hosted on another server. So !Canada@lemmy.ca is hosted on lemmy.ca instead of lemmy.world, but if you follow it on a web browser you might notice it takes you to https://lemmy.world/c/canada@lemmy.ca
this way you haven't "left" lemmy.world, lemmy.ca has no access to your credentials but you can make a post or comment there which is shared with lemmy.ca who posts it for everyone who connects to lemmy.ca to see.
I'm doing my part!
I've been wondering what Lemmy was like until Jun 2023. Quite cozy I guess.
I will use Lemmy more when Sync will fix hiding posts. And no, I'm not gonna use "remove read"
Still waiting for the ability to block instances as a user.
At least there's something to do here. Mastodon almost always feels like a ghost town to me. I only really keep it on my home screen because I like the icon.
Thank fuck, I was worried my hosting bills were going to keep escalating... xD
Doing my part...
Yeah cuz the shot is down constantly. I have 2 apps and one usually doesn't work.
People on vacation in July and august too maybe ? Might have a slight rebound later
Still better at retaining its users than Threads.
A platform can always be improved, always. Lemmy is alpha software now and the growing problems we had in the beginning may have annoyed some users.
I think the most important thing is to keep making improvements to attract new users. I'm already finding the content infinitely better than it was a month ago.
Lurker mainly but looking to get more involved!
Posting smth so I count as an active user again
This is not a bad thing. Lurkers have always been a significant part of the user base in all social media.
Lemmy feels, some days, like its bots all the way down. Just reddit repost bots everywhere.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
