    The interesting thing to note is each website I go to that looks at the total number of lemmy users is wildly different. Im wondering if there is some sort of blocker/defederated instance occurred a couple of months ago? Im not sure.

    Either way, number of users are up.

      I think counting fediverse users is about as difficult as counting e-mail adresses.

        Your probably right. And if an instance defederates with others, it may look like the number of users dropped without actually dropping.

    Which iOS client are y’all using? The native Lemmy website was just way too slow in loading and refreshing posts. I’m using Memmy but it often crashes when searching for communities…

    I migrated over to Lemmy a few weeks ago when the piece of shit Reddit app refused to load any posts but continued to load ads. I have found this community to be far more interactive, kind, and enjoyable to discuss pretty much anything with. I haven’t found a reason to return to reddit at all.

    It’s amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.

    Rddit just feels like it’s actively trying to get you to leave it.

      Reddit is like the late Roman Empire. It looks fine on the outside, but it’s corrupt all the way down, powered by unpaid labor, and the lead pipes are slowly killing everyone.

        No, no, the pipes are fine (mostly). They have calcium buildup that prevents lead leeching.

        The REAL major source of lead poisoning in the Empire is much stupider - knowingly making wine syrup in lead pots because the lead makes it taste sweeter. Despite knowing that lead is toxic af.

        There’s probably an apt comparison in that to Reddit as well.

    I feel like lemmy is in a decent place right now. The main page is busy enough with a good amount of OC and alright discussion. It’s a lot to ask for 1000+ active niche communities. I have a few things that bug me and I’m not sure ballooning members would fix it: reddit-like anti-social behaviour, excessive reposts, and posts about MAGA people. I’ve blocked a lot of communities, some users, and very few nsfw instances.

        What I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

        Be the change you want to see!

        Anyway those are probably the lowest effort content which is why you see it most. Over time though the other forms will come. Most of Reddits front-page is memes and news for the same reason.

            Was, it’s no longer in existence currently. Many of them moved to Nostr, though some of their members came back to Lemmy and set up the hilariouschaos Lemmy instance.

        So long as the Israeli bot networks stay off of here. I don’t like how China is discussed here but it’s a function of the type of people this place attracts, i.e not fans of authority.

        They’d get sent to Exploding Heads, most likely.

        i’m not completely confident that those far-right psychos are even real people for the most part. Reddit is probably the most botted place on the internet.

        We can’t stop them from using Lemmy either. They’ll come.

        But this time we can defederate from servers that tolerate intolerance.

          Also encouraging our local instance admins who are or seem receptive to not tolerate the intolerant.

        Like Facebook, Reddit will probably just become a cesspool of conservative morons. I’m fine with them staying on Reddit. I don’t think it’s gonna “collapse” anytime soon.

      On one hand I think it’s very positive that everyone starts using decentralised platforms that don’t run on profit, that work for their users and not their shareholders, but on the other hand having a space mostly without conservatives is great.

      Yeah thats another good one. Its almost like it would be useful to see what each tracker would do in the following scenarios:

      1. Create a persona instance with a couple of accounts (like 3)

      2. See what each site says

      3. Create a post/ create comment/ upvote sample post.

      4. Ban an account (How many active users are now being counted? How many comments? Did that comment/post go away retroactively?)

      5. other such experiments…

      6. Let everyone know the results.

      Wish I had more time.
