It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again.
https://fediverse.observer/stats&months=50
Total users are huge now.
There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.
First fediverse site I encountered was moving train radio, a podcast that cited Israeli war crimes in every horrific detail for hours.
It should be played in every church service in North America every week.
Hoping it’s true, generally when I see posts about how strong and successful something is, it hits like a warning sign that it’s struggling / at risk and someone is trying to project growth for attraction / retention.
I assume I’m not the only one with this kind of mental filter. Maybe there’s a way to go about it that would get the impression across without ringing that alarm?
Maybe a show don’t tell kind of tact? Like “check out all this new content being generated by the influx of users”… or a backhanded thing like “here’s how to protect your insrance against recent traffic surges”?
Idk I’m no expert. Hope it’s helpful but otherwise just ignore me~
Idk man, you’re kinda right but also like what do we need cheerleaders for. Im gonna show this people and they’re gonna sign up because lemmy is growing or something?
Idk just useless information as far as i can tell, theres no ceo of the fediverse trying to maximize growth or whatever so who is this for?
so who is this for?
for myself, for example. i want to see more diverse content.
Then go make it!
i’m not gonna do it alone
I am the CEO of the fediverse but I’m struggling. If you send $7 to my account, I will reimburse you $2m when we succeed. My scam coin wallet address is “0”, please reply quickly… I can not hold long
I wish there was a website that had like three major aggregators instead of just the one. The issue I come across is these sites all have something missing. For the fediverse observer, they sometimes do retro activity that doesn’t pop up until you look at the graph again.
What I can tell you anecdotally is i am seeing a lot more engagement with content faces are sticking around last couple of months. So I pulled the numbers from the aggregator that I know at least lets you audit the numbers. But its still not perfect.
Is there anyway to compare bots to real users?
Piefed auto-flags users it it thinks is bots and allows users to flag other users as potential AI bots. Its an interesting system. I like it so far but its on a system with less than 10k users. So not sure how the scale is going to work. Still its a step!
I’m only here because I got IP banned from Reddit for asking when they’re going to launch Margery Taylor Greene into the sun.
it actually takes more energy to launch stuff into the sun, than to launch it out of the solar system. just saying.
I’m here for the awful post of “when are the guillotines coming?” In reference to the largest child sex trafficking ring ever that’s being defended by the US gov.
Was it also in/r/politics and were you “promoting violence”?
Exactly.
Fuckin cowards.
Especially considering what they allowed when I joined in 2012.
Continuing, growing and stronging.
Moisturizing. Focusing. Inourlaneing. Flourishing.
Enlonging, embiggening, and stronging.
stronking*
numbers go brrrr.
I found Lemmy through grapheneos! That’s my story. Love it.
If I hadn’t smashed my iPhone in a work related accident I would never know the joy of ditching reddit and joining you folks.
Hazzah for happenstance! Life is great!
Hell yeah
Newbie checking in. Hi.
Me too! And not a bot! Woohoo!
And not a bot!
Wonderful! We love human flesh around here!
EDIT: Ok, I’m reading that back and I see how it sounds. Just editing to say we are not cannibals.
EDIT 2: Ok, I know that denying that we are cannibals makes it look even more like we are cannibals, but I promise you we are not
You have been added to the best of Lemmy https://sh.itjust.works/post/67282965
Oh shit. Wait, no. It was just a joke. I don’t wanna be “cannibal man”. Damn… senior year will be really hard for me, won’t it? No one will want to sit next to me in the cafeteria. Some kid will be like “I hear he packs his own lunch” and everyone will gasp.
It’s okay Seth, calm down. Being known as “cannibal man” is way better than being known as “fart man” like Pat in homeroom.
Everyone gets a little #CannibalCurious sometimes
Check this guy’s fridge.
Even if you were cannibals, you have to remember I’m coming from reddit! Cannibals are preferential to being at the bottom of that poisonous swamp!
I’m fairly new myself and in the last week I’ve noticed quite a few new users. Not a ton but a lot more than when I joined months ago.
I’m a new user! Pl3ased to meet you. Still getting used to not having my text autocorrectes to the level of iphon3. It feels more organic 5ho.
bots. bots everywhere.
Are there? I don’t notice much bottery.
if not bots then alt accounts.
just had one recently where I would comment, get a response, and immediately get downvotes from the same people over and over again.
I can say some pretty inflammatory shit, but I somehow doubt it’s fascinating enough for people to camp my comments.
Not me. I just get drunk at work and reply to every string of text that I feel like!
Nope. It seems it is a sicker Reddit. No matter the congenitalilty, the engagement is just frankly gross.
Maybe I need to move from lemmy.zip, but the vetting is a pain in the ass.
People are just difficult to even talk to these days.
I am actually a really sweet but sardonic guy. No freedom of speech and no humor. Just an exasperation of the things that killed reddit.
No actual discussion. Fuck this.
It definitly isn’t easy going. Just write whats on your mind and be careful to not doxx yourself.
Or fuck this.
If you’re not a socialist then you may often find yourself lost and unwelcome here, and I’m absolutely not talking about the ml grounds because they lowkey welcome fascists
I am a socialist. What?
I advocate for free school lunches, free healthcare, free basic housing, free education, and free basic internet access.
You are simply demonstrating my point.
why did you feel summoned, what’s your input?
He got a notification that you replied to him, probably why he felt that
Is that why I feel so at home here? Am I a socialist!? Did Lemmy make me a socialist! Oh no, what am I going to tell my mother when sh3 finds out.
But in all seriousness… Tho the text above was not made in jest, Would you consider yourself to be described in that way? A socialist? If not a socialist, how do you find the wherewithal to stick around?
take your meds
I drink mine, FYI 🤪
*ETA
& tyvm
It’s not about socialism. Most people on Reddit and crybabies and the Fediverse seems to have inherited that culture.
not even lowkey at this point, it’s a full-on fascist supporting community.
lemmy.zip imo is notoriously shit. It was one of the first communities I blocked when I joined the fediverse.
…are you ok?
Did you just wake up?
Being well adjusted to a sick society is no measure of good health.
One can be maladjusted and still happy. Jeezy Pete!
Whoosh. I think the point is being missed. I am not focusing on the one.
I am a rather happy guy who has a heart that bleeds for others.

you should not be on the internet then.
I like to envision the internet like it was New York City between 1975-1985. trash piled high in front of every building with an oppressive smog swirling down every thoroughfare. A dead hooker in every pile of trash, like some kind of hidden kinder surprise. how she got there, nobody cares, but I can guarantee that it involved enough coke to kill a horse.
piss on the seats, piss in the streets, and Wallstreet standing like some kind of middle finger while the city churns on, grinding babies into paste for the best pizza money can buy.
You’ve really got a gift.

I haven’t gotten any new users on my app so this has to be fake
I’ve definitely noticed my shitpost comments get a lot more engagement than they used to, so that’s fun
maybe the posts are just getting shitttier?
Shame. I just ran out of toilet paper.
