PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

Lemmy is full of bad news, hate and toxicity while pixelfed is full of artists and people sharing cool pictures and their passion. Visiting my pixelfed account from 2023 a few days ago set such a contrast with what I see on lemmy that I started using it regularly. It really felt weird to visit such a wholesome place after using lemmy for a long time. Now I use pixelfed to balance out the bad stuff from lemmy for maintaining my mental health and to appreciate the art which is not common on lemmy.

Oooh, I will need to look into the lemmyverse json file to find out what they are.

If it brings more diversity, I’m all for it. If it makes it even more super left psycho Echo chamber-y then it will just be annoying.

and it just went on and on trying to placate the inevitable furious white men in the comments section.
I think that's, usually, not necessary. The "going on at length" part, that is. People want to know you're not literally Andrea Dworkin, trying to actively reinforce the toxic AF "women are always victims, men are always perpetrators" narrative etc, but it takes like five words to make that clear.
Complications might arise when you're trying to simultaneously assuage hurt men and misandrists. I fear it's either "'kill all men' is toxic" or "'kill all men' is a valid expression of your anger, let it all out", there's no real space for compromise, there.

What instance are you using? How are you accessing it (browser, app, etc.)?

Discovery? Interesting thought.
I tried out pixelfed and the pixelix app for the past couple weeks.
The "discovery" page on the official app is worse than useless. It shows almost nobody with over 10 followers, highlighting one person with 50-100 followers, then shows "popular on the fediverse" which are thumbnails of posts of the people it just recommended. It always recommends at least 5 of the same people day after day, week after week.
The official app can't even show a global feed so it is literally impossible to discover new people unless you know their name and specifically search for them, or they are recommended by luck on the discover page (of which there are multiple repeats per day)
Pixelix at least allows you to view a global feed though. Definitely a better experience, but Lemmy discovery is not any worse than that.

I hear you. I'm getting tired of the massive amount of posts about trump and elon and politics. I don't see almost any new content about other stuff.

It's quite good, in my opinion. If we had some good bridge to lemmy's posts, it would be even better. Also I've checked and if you like or comment a mastodon post from Pixelfed you'll receive the notification, so, it's something️.

(Many groups) of lemmy are full of political content but you can block them and still have a decent amount of contents.

The political stuff is leaking into any other community though. I've already blocked every politics specific and news specific community and a handful other communities and I still get a lot of that. I'm also blocking a few keywords as well, this stuff just gets through regardless of what you do and in no small amount either.

My script may or may not have picked up the data correctly. I thought I had it working but during writing down the data I noticed that the new 196 blahaj community wasn't showing up in communities from this month and was categorised as 2023.06. After tinkering with the script a bit and rerunning the script it's now correctly categorised as from this month but who knows if there are any other errors. And due to writing this down manually I could have made some mistakes myself too.

Oh wow, thanks for putting it into perspective! Those are very interesting stats:)
(Also lol, apparently not that many more communities are being created)
