My internet experience has been slower since switching to Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin. And it's so nice. The things I see are more interesting. The conversations are usually more well thought out. And lowest common denominator dopamine content isn't being driven into my eyeballs by Algorithms. I've legitimately been happier since the Reddit API debacle.
Long live the Old Internet.
Super, super impressive.
Most web apps, especially social media - get that peak and then have this huge falloff (see Threads for a particularly grisly example). Lemmy seems really good at keeping its user base.
It reminds me that I need to contribute posts more often myself. I’m think the only reason I ever go back to reddit is that it has some specialized subs we just don’t have here yet. But sometimes you have to start posting to an audience of 0 to get things going.
I've heard about Lemmy for a while, and I just joined after getting permanently banned for "threatening violence" after posting "nice sub here" in a new subreddit. I wish I were joking, but it personally doesn't surprise me that much when considering my past experiences. The appeal was denied.
Reddit's most dedicated and longstanding users can only tolerate so many nonsensical and frivolous permanent account bans over the years before they flock to that beautiful forest sprouting up across the river. Lemmy should continue to grow because people like me intend to be here for the life of it.
My last few months on Reddit were spent tracking bot accounts, and taking note of suspicious patterns of certain subreddits refusing to take action against blatant propaganda bots. I'm glad to be past that, at least for now, and I wish the users I'm leaving behind luck. Things were nuts.
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.
Great news. it's also nice to see they are more accurately counting active users with the latest update. I still think Lemmy will surpast a million active users with in a year or two.
I have recently become more sexy and I think that is probably the reason for the MAU bump
The post/comment propaganda seems to have worked as well. Every post is way more active nowadays
Doing my part!
Very Nice! - Borat
I will say unlike Reddit I find the best experience on here tends to be sorting posts by newest comments so that way discussion pushes things to the front of my page. There's still too little content for sorting things by Top in various different communities to be worth the time. I suppose this turns it into more of an old-school forum homepage in a way.
I think Lemmy is a good foothold for activitypub. Reddit has been going to shit for some time and their userbase is tech savvy enough to actually migrate to something like Lemmy in significant enough numbers for it to matter.
I can only hope it continues to grow like this
Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.
Lets be fair, Steve Huffman did most of the work to make Lemmy so popular.
Shout out to the old r/jailbait mod for making in happen!
Definitely.

As long there is content, I'll be here. Think same goes for others.
.ml needs to start handing out more petty bans to tamp down the enthusiasm again.
My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.
Does Lemmy need to grow for some reason? Sometimes I swear I can feel the Reddit community toxicity seeping in and its really disappointing. Honestly, for me personally if Lemmy continued on exactly as it is today, I'd be perfectly content.
That said, if there are benefits to growth beyond the wide scope of mass adoption fucking over the proprietary social medias I'm all ears.
Woo!
Trainspotting.
Hell yeah! We're here,
we're queer,get used to it!The site is great.
I wish posters+commenters were in one color and lurkers in another
APES TOGETHER STRONG!!!
Well, I don't actually exist. So just go ahead and subtract one
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
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
Lmao, I made a casual joke in this .world thread about .ml bans causing the drop, and they shadow banned me from .ml again. I guess proving me wrong?
Beep boop
Probably has something to do with fewer political posts
