Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at !reddit@lemmy.world
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from !asklemmy@lemmy.world :
Was wondering what kicked off more signups.
Probably reddit announcing some shitty monetization scheme
Yes, it’s in the post body
The CEO said they were going to add pay-walled subreddits at an earnings call.
So… Yep.
Who didn’t see this coming from a thousand miles away when they announced they were going public? Here comes the endless churn of trying to keep shareholders artificially interested
Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here. Two days old today, baaabbby!!
Doing my part tho! I’ve created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)
That is crazy. Nice work! :D
Thank you. Everyone is calling me a troll and saying things like, “Troll alert. Account is only 2 days old!”
But WTF? Are we supposed to wait after we create an account to start posting?
No. I created an account so I could START posting. lol
Welcome!
Welcome to the upgrade!
We need more work horses like you 💙
Thank you! But wow, the people in the c/poltics sub are convinced I am a “media manipulator” because my account is only a few days old and I have started communities. lol
Gotta control the narrative :P
Right?! lol
People in political communities can be a bit opinionated. Hopefully it will fade away as your account will get older
Thank you!
Only 50k? I thought it would be much more than that. Didn’t know Lemmy was still this small after all these years.
There are probably a lot of lurkers who don’t vote or comment, but there is no way to know their numbers
Does this include people who don’t post or comment much?
Active means one vote, post or comment in the last month
To the moooooon
It is lower from where it was in june (48.472) and the data seem to indicate a negative trajectory , also lemmy donations seem to be the lowest i remember them to be.
So i would not get too confident, the project IMO needs to focus on highly requested killer features. My impression they focusing too much on technical issues that don’t seem to be really important in a way that reminds me of the infamous The CADT Model rant of Jamie Zawinski. Do we really need to do a UI rewrite?
I’m out of the loop, what are the highly requested features?
I suppose for me more compact posts and in community search.
Multi communities, tags, dedicated moderation dashboard
I was so confused when I heard about lemmy-ui-leptos, it really sounds like a waste of time to me 🤷♂️
I’m sure everyone has a different opinion, but I think the most important new feature should be the plugin system. It seems like the only way to scale up the number of contributors and support a variety of languages.
Yes, that could be huge
That’s weird! I go on Lemmy daily and it’s been feeling a lot busier IMO.
Hopefully Sublinks, PieFed or Mbin will be ready soon so that we can ditch Lemmy entirely.
Are those better than Lemmy? I’m enjoying Lemmy so far.
At this point i think piefed feels better with it’s ability to subscribe to posts and comments and incrementally read stuff, and also the wiki system . mbin reportedly has multireddits but i played with it and could not figure out how to enable it. but piefed still didn’t have a beta release.
Good overview.
Mbin doesn’t have multicommunities yet, feel free to upvote this issue: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/486
Mod tools for Piefed are very promising!
They are different, but Lemmy is still a solid choice
The CADT model…that was a short but fun read. I have definitely encountered that model many times in the various jobs.
Years ago, when I was a developer, I loved fixing bugs in other people’s code. I felt like I learned a lot from that, and I got a sense of accomplishment out of it. It made users happy, it made my boss happy, and the puzzle solving aspect of it was fun. I was what they called a “maintenance programmer” which was something of an insult, but I didn’t mind.
Unfortunately most developers I know hate everyone else’s code, think others’ code is “garbage” (every single time) and they definitely have a lot more fun building something from scratch than doing bug fixes. They even hate their own code once it’s a few months old. Always chasing for the perfect architecture, etc. Which is unfortunate, there’s tremendous value in repairing and upgrading existing things.
TF2 community greatly values efforts of The Janitor - sole full-time developer, fixing old bugs in TF2.
I love that.
there’s tremendous value in repairing and upgrading existing things.
Value created doesn’t translate to value extracted and VCs and managers and marketers and the general public fork over more money in exchange for new shiny than old, reliable, maintained. There are few exceptions.
True, but I’ve also worked at many places where they hang on to old software systems for years or even decades (think banking, mainframes). Because they “it works, and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
I’m now here due to the Reddit news. I’m still browsing both, but I look forward to changing over.
My oldest Reddit account was close to 15 years old and I haven’t logged into any of them for almost 2 years. All the same content and none of the Reddit BS.
Welcome! I have noticed the last week or two that there has been a real influx of activity, and it’s now basically the same experience for larger subreddits/lemmy communities. All we need is some niche community and better cross/instance community combining and we’re golden. Enjoy!
Welcome! Feel free if you have questions
What’s the state capital of Idaho?
Boise, I think?
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world what’s the state capital of Idaho?
(Let’s see if this still works, haven’t used it in a while)

I like lemmy, people can actually see comments too, theyre not drowned out
So not DNC bots/bot-like-humans then.
Definitely plenty of DNC stans here, but definitely not as ban-happy as Reddit was when it comes to having a different opinion.
THE YEAR OF THE FEDIVERSE
I like Lemmy’s culture better. It isn’t perfect, and maybe someday I’ll create my own instance. And I can do that.
It feels more condusive.
There’s a bit of an echo in some places.
That’s just human s though. The only way to fix that is force everyone and everything onto All.
The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it
To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.
Not saying it’s the bots… but it’s the bots, isn’t it?
This guy bots.
Is thus just for one instance or across many instances
All of the instances
How do you track activity across all instances? How do you discover them all?
every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”
I’m out of the loop. What dumb thing did he do now?
Paywalled subreddits and killing old.reddit.
There are a few threads on !reddit@lemmy.world
They haven’t killed old.reddit (yet), just made it slightly worse.
Old.reddit+res are keeping the website alive for me
Welcome, now post some fresh me mes please. Also more cat photos
We just got ourselves some kittens… I gotta start posting some OC!
Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn’t lie to ourselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.
More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.
I think that’s a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.
Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.
Over 6 months and over a month, I think most users with multiple accounts use their accounts at least once to post, comment, or vote. So it wouldn’t surprise me if active users to active accounts was 1:2
You think that, on average, half of active users are alts…?
Alts or bots, maybe
No. I think that there are enough users with multiple accounts including bots that it wouldn’t surprise me if the ratio of active users to active accounts is 1:2.
