Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000
(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).
We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
I came here from Reddit after figuring out the platform is beyond saving
the problem with this place is it’s not user-friendly. and the posts/comments are too nerdy/niche for most people. my lemmy frontpage is like 50% linux nonsense. ordinary people dont’ know what linux is.
Ordinary people know what Linux is, they just don’t care about. So the effect is the pretty much the same, but for different reasons.
if it’s less niche it will be flooded with ragebait and covert ads and such. better it stays a bit more niche. that’s why i’m fine with it being a little bit more nerdy than other mainstream platforms.
I see those posts all the time and even I’m not totally sure
Ditto.
