AFAIK, V0.19 adds anyone that votes to MAU instead of just commenters and posters, so any server thats converted is reporting better #s. With Lemmy.world now on 0.19, expect this to be even sharper.
What is MAU?
Monthly Active Users
What is MAU?
This is a wrong answer, but this song is what I always think of when I see ‘MAU’.
Well, that’s in my head now.
adds anyone that votes to MAU instead of just commenters and posters
That seems fair. They’re interacting with Lemmy, so they’re using Lemmy, and should be counted.
The fediverse is growth hacking, nice.
According to: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=270 the monthly active users are still in decline… even if we take into account the new way of counting active users, the previous bump comes from v0.19 being added to other servers
I really like it here. Feels homey and not toxic. And I post a lot lol.
There’s a few weirdos, but overall much better than reddit. And blocking is your friend.
Really like being able to block the porn instances too. I don’t care if people want porn but I don’t like randomly running across it, I personally don’t care for it.
Thanks for your efforts keeping the Poetry comm alive! I know I mainly lurk there but I appreciate your posts!
I’m glad to hear! I don’t think everyone loves my tastes in poetry every day but I hope at least it makes people think.
invest … invest now!
Watching this graph more often than that of Bitcoin

What’s up with the low in December?
0.19 broke federation for quite a lot of people for the majority of December, probably has something to do with it.
I’ve been an almost daily Lemming since last summer but when nothing I posted was making it off my server for about three weeks there wasn’t much point!
Over time people from that initial spike realized that the platform isn’t what they expected/liked, some likely went back to their previous platform but i am going to be optimistic and say they moved to mastodon.
The climb we see now is fresh users that heard of lemmy and are now checking it out.
//This is how i read this graph, other interpretation may be possible, you can’t really know for certain without more data.
Traffic peaked at the reddit migration, after that, people either left or became mostly lurkers, and since lemmy versions before 0.19 didn’t count votes as activity most users were not included in the graph.
Now that instances are upgrading to 0.19 there’s an increase of activity.
.ml needs to start handing out more petty bans to tamp down the enthusiasm again.
Speculation on this graph alone, I would say that students being off/people avoiding family gave the bump in December. And I’d expect another bump in May/June as Summer starts
I have recently become more sexy and I think that is probably the reason for the MAU bump
I’m fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can’t seem to find the post now, though.
They did. I believe comments now count as activity where only posts did before?
Up/downvotes now count as well, AFAIK.
Ah ok. This is a very sensible change. I never post, but I interact probably once a month or so.
As long there is content, I’ll be here. Think same goes for others.
Well, I don’t actually exist. So just go ahead and subtract one
Reddit making all third party apps a PAID service after releasing the paid API, and its first party app being total AD oriented instead of user orientef sure helped!
100%. Reddit killed the vibe for the people that appreciate it the most.
Wanna get more ppl on Lemmy?
Just show them the dope apps like sync. The web interface low key sucked at the start and almost drove me away.
I think actually recommending a specific instance as well is a good shout
Yeah the webUI is horrible. Jerboa is the best FOSS app
Jerboa was a mess when I first got it as well.
No its the best lemmy app in my experience
Probably now. But in the summer it was just about working.
You can show the also the other UIs for the web. Photon is quite decent, the default is not very attractive as you say.
i use the photon front end
I really like lemmy as a platform. The only thing I miss is better search options.
Someone knows a efficient way to search for a topic using lemmy or some search engine? Some trick or something?
The fact that topics are dispersed in many instances makes kind of hard to try to find a post where someone may be talking about the topic you need.
Hey have you tried discord? Me and all the communities I am part of have moved to it!
Not gonna down vote you like others but discord is ass for medium to large communities imo.
Kagi has built support for it iirc.
Low-skill option would be backfilling entire lemmy on mastodon and using elasticsearch.
Lol thats an interesting idea
