Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing?
-
that source says that the fediverse has more MAU then other sources on fediverse stats.
-
Yes! It seems it's growing by leaps and bounds.
hmmm ive been on fediverse for a few months so it seems stable with a fluctuations in activity
-
Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?
side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.
I sin and still use reddit. Lately I've seen an increase of users there suggesting them to come here when unpopular changes are happening there. Those comments are normally quite high up with a lot of discussion surrounding it so I assume it is attracting some of them to come here. When this place has enough content for my feed I'll eventually ditch reddit but in the meantime I'll still use both.

i actually believe lemmy should cross post to reddit, just so redditors can get exposure to lemmy. I got banned off of reddit years ago so I have little idea whats going on over there, i just see on lemmy that reddit has used ai based bots for moderating. I'm pretty much thinking of niche things to build up to help produce more content

On my feed I don't see much that could be crossposted to reddit. Lemmy has it's own culture which probably clashes somewhat with reddit. The best thing imo is creating content within lemmy's quieter communities. I do now and then but I'm not a massive poster or commentor.

I disagree. I tried to cross post to the silos for 11 years https://jeena.net/notes/1 and I couldn't move anyone to an alternative platform. Cross posting only legitimizes the other platform and gives them free content to exploit.

All of the numbers are rounded. Maybe this is the first month collecting data so everything is starting from 0?
IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it's running again

I'm perma banned from Reddit but can obviously still read what goes on and a funny thing has happened: since I can reply or react I've become less emotional in response and started going through users profiles and the amount of bots has become obvious.
It's a blessing in disguise. Reddit is actually Facebook of the more "left" of the internet now.
It's all imploding on us that lean left while the right seem to have no idea they're interacting with bots and shills

Last weekend I used a scrubber to delete every post and comment from my 15 year old Reddit account, then deleted the account, so I've finally burned the boats on the move. Lemmy is perfectly fine as it is. It'll ebb and flow for users, but I've been happy for a year here now.

Seems to be declining, no?

Probably mastodon competing with bluesky as it seems most well known Twitter refugees are skeeting these days..

I got here from reddit yesterday , so it got me in.. still have a ton to learn aboyt lemmy but its nice and cozy and people are not karmafarming or being assholes for sake of engagement
Lemmy has a bit of a learning curve if u come from twatter or facebook , but for a redditor it feels like a nice summer home.
It definitely needs more content but thats why we can make more and do more i guess ? Post memes , have talks , do usual things arround here and more people will come , esp with "buy european" movement promoting lemmy over reddit

Lemmy is hovering at 50k monthly active users.

I think we all need to learn to be okay with having less content. Makes the platform less addictive and makes us less prone to doom scrolling I think.

I agree with you in principle , but doomscrolling isnt just about having content but its a symptom of something else entirely imo (algorithmic content , people being addicted to slop etc) ... more content means more people at the end of the day , and more people means more interesting conversations , posts , interactions etc

I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.

Can I ask you what scrubber you used?
