Next step - Lemmy stats.

FediDB

I knew mastadon was the largest, but I didn't realize how much larger it is. Mastadon is 78% of the fediverse users, while lemmy is third place at 3.3%. Misskey is second place with roughly double lemmy's users. Looks like it's a jp only thing.

That make me wonder... Does anyone know if Firefish/Calckey is counted under "Misskey" or "other?" (Firefish is a fork of Misskey)

Edit: After drilling down a bit I think it's counted as "other"

I think most of the stats are deceiving. In my opinion, most of the actual activity or users read, and comment happens on Lemmy, as opposed to mastodon where you mostly just have observers.

[-] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You may want to browse microblog tab on /kbin (which shows Mastodon, Misskey, etc. toots/tweets/notes/whatever there) to make an opinion for yourself.
Individual magazines have their own microblog sections (like photography)

What happened in the 4th quarter of 2022? Huge increase.

Bots who "archive" stuff from reddit.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 2 years ago

also, there some data over at https://fediverse.observer/stats but its a but slow/buggy

[-] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 1 points 2 years ago

I keep some on lemmyverse. Check menu -> network stats I should add some more...

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago

Hope this convinces some to join us here

I think its great they are promoting Lemmy but I think the notes are unneeded. Tell people Lemmy is great, give them a recommended instance to sign up on, and stop selling. They can learn about the rest after theyve gotten their lemmylegs underneath them.

Give them 5 extra paragraphs of caveats and people will think they are more confused than they are. I ended up on squabbles for two months after the reddit exodus because everytime Lemmy was brought up it was with a massive text wall or that one infocomic. Its free, theres no ads, and no one person owns it - thats really all you need to know to get started.

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

I think the first note was fine. It's definitely going to be a spot of confusion for a lot of people. I agree that the rest were largely unnecessary though.

[-] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Hehe, "lemmylegs". That's kinda cute :D

[-] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 40 points 2 years ago

Yay! Love to see Lemmy promoted.

[-] rglullis@communick.news 16 points 2 years ago

Somewhat related: do we have a more up-to-date mapping between reddit <-> lemmy ?

sub.rehab is not accepting new links, redditmigration is recommending some instances that have been abandoned or closed, etc. I have now over 4000 subreddits at https://portal.alien.top and only mapped ~150 of them. If none of these mapping projects are going to be maintained, perhaps I should a similar functionality to fediverser itself?

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 years ago

Great news!

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I feel like the main missing detail is defederation but I also feel like that would confuse people not familiar with how federation works.

[-] nicetriangle@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

just more of reddit shooting off its own dick for that sweet sweet IPO

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest.

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

That's why I could never get into Twitter and now Mastodon. I don't give a shit about who posts, I only give a shit about the topic. I don't want to follow people. I want to follow topics. And hashtags just don't cut it.

[-] muggedTassi@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Fully agree.
I'm one of those people who migrated to tumblr after the Reddit exodus (tbh I did have tumblr beforehand, but my usage increased a lot when the API bullshit happened). After using it for around 10 months I've come to the conclusion while yes, it is good for fandom related content, memes and some other things it's simply no replacement for reddit (it's actually more of a replacement for my fandom instagram to me). Yeah you can follow hashtags or topics, but tumblr is too niche of a platform and a lot of the topics I care about the average tumblr user doesn't even think of, or at least not to the extent I do.
If you want a reddit replacement Lemmy is simply your best option. If you want a Twitter replacement then yeah, go ahead and use Mastodon.

[-] ginerel@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

You can also use Friendica if you enjoy Tumblr. It has a wider degree of customization in regard to its interface, and you can also cross post or get your Tumblr feed in Friendica (provided the server you're using has the appropriate tumblr addon).

[-] muggedTassi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

That looks really promising, I never heard of that before, thank you for telling me! Do you perhaps also know of any unofficial tumblr android app that lets me add two accounts/main blogs (ideally FOSS, but I'm willing to make compromises)?

[-] Corgana@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Mastodon is great for following people, but not wonderful for topics. I hope that Lemmy can mature to the point where it has a greater diversity of communities.
