There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

God I really hope its not dead. I know everyone suggests voyager but I don't like the gestures and it feels slower than just having buttons.
I use voyager and don't use any gestures. Looks like I turned them off in settings. And they have a ton of options for things you can adjust in the settings. I was a reddit is fun app user and am completely happy with voyager. But I'm also almost always just lurking. So more active users might have more problems but with how much you can adjust it I doubt it.

A slightly different graph from Fedecan shows the user growth more clearly without the Hexbear blip
Highest daily growth since 2023 at 1.2k per day the past few days.
Nice, I didn't know fedecan hosted graphs like this. The fediverse.observer graph has a weird scale and Fedidb has also been weird lately, so this is a good alternative.

just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
very good way to put it

Woo more people to join our cult. Everyone will get their robes in the mail
Well at least Nicole from Toronto in their inbox.

i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though... which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years
I think since coming over here I've done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I'd say that's a lot of progress.
I've done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.

This post did not contain any content.
Iâm here to help the place grow. Letâs do it!

Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move
i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation... "policies"
-
Welcome back! Just...be careful about what you say on the instance you're on LMAO

Sync for Lemmy is a good app' if anyone is looking for RIF like experience. Sync
As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.

basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.
as for which instance; where you from? what you into?

Thank you for your service đ«Ą
I'm the same as the other guy, my rule is that I only post/comment about Lemmy when I use my reddit acount.
I used to only comment a few times per month when I used reddit but as soon as I started using Lemmy I started making hundreds of comments per month. Especially in the first few months, I got to 1k comments super fast. Since then I've slowed down a bit but still way more active than I was on reddit. This is my alt account btw.
It's so much more rewarding to participate on Lemmy for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it feels like people actually care enough to read my comments and respond. On reddit it often seemed like shouting into the void. Plus, it's a great feeling to be a part of something that's community based and not just soulless corporate slop. Every time I check reddit, it feels so miserable and I wonder how I ever tolerated that site for so long.

The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you're happy with the instance then there's no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.
The "ml" in the domain is supposed to represent "Marxist Lennist" which the ideology the instance is aimed at.

I'm a fan of Voyager. Very nice experience in my opinion

As a recommendation, https://lemm.ee/ is good.

The admins and mods of .ml are huge Tankies and censor all content critical of China/Russia/NK and will deny they're even dictatorships let alone that they enforce censorship or any other violation of basic human rights
[email protected] has a bunch of content documenting what they get up to that you might miss if you're not in the modlog, but ironically for a group that complains about censorship they block that comm from all .ml users at the instance level so you'll have to look at it in a roundabout way.
lemmy.world/c/[email protected] should work

Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, Iâm just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.
Couldnât they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click âadvancedâ.
Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?
MÄske det hjÊlper hvis man skifter til dansk, sÄ vi ikke bliver forvirret af sprogbrugen
Som @[email protected] siger sÄ er fediverset decentraliseret - det vil sige at i stedet for at der kun er en udbyder (fx Reddit), sÄ er der mange udbydere af sociale medier som hÊnger sammen. Man plejer at kalde hver udbyder en "instans", altsÄ Feddit.dk er en instans, lemmy.world er en anden instans. SÄ man vÊlger en udbyder/instans, ligesom man vÊlger om man gÄr i Netto eller Rema (selvom de jo tit har de samme ting).
Mastodon fungerer pÄ samme mÄde, dvs. der er mange instanser der kÞrer Mastodon-softwaren som alle hÊnger sammen. Faktisk hÊnger Mastodon og Lemmy ogsÄ sammen, da de bruger samme underliggende protokol. Det er der hvor det bliver rigtig fedt for sÄ kan man begynde at skrive fra Mastodon til Lemmy eller den anden vej. Det ville svare til at skrive fra Twitter til Reddit eller den anden vej, noget man aldrig kunne forestille sig i de traditionelle kommercielle sociale medier.
Jeg forstÄr godt at meget af det her er anderledes end hvordan de traditionelle centraliserede sociale medier virker, og jeg er sikker pÄ du ikke er den eneste der er forvirret. Jeg tror faktisk det ville vÊre rigtig fint hvis du stillede dine spÞrgsmÄl og forundringer som et indlÊg i [email protected], sÄ kunne andre pÄ Feddit.dk ogsÄ mÄske fÄ glÊde af forklaringerne

They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.
This what infuriates me the most.
I use a VPN (because my government is insane) and i get a âsecurity warningâ if I visit any Reddit post (even old Reddit).
All theyâre doing is building a moat around OUR content we created.

Iâve enjoyed it. Doubt Iâm using it to its fullest ability. Only on two instances.
You only need the one account, you don't need to sign into other instances.
There can be some weirdness on the web version where if someone uses the wrong type of link then you maybe redirected away and can't interact as you're not logged in.
For example:

You know itâs so simple to just click a different app and go back to infinite scrolling the way Iâm used to.
Iâm not a fussy user, I donât get all up in arms over changes in functionality or whatever. Itâs also nice not to see orange man on the internet whenever I scroll
