Is the number of Lemmy users increasing?
-
In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.
My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.
Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content
?)But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.
However... I'm just curious.
Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?
Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!
It appears that Twitter users are migrating to Bluesky, while simultaneously engaging with Reddit and Discord. Meanwhile, Reddit users are making their way to Lemmy or maybe not I exacly don't how but LEMMY IS GOING UPP.

I think they give away their real complaint when they mentioned "anything to the right of far left" as if reddit only allows far left views.
Have you not been on reddit in the last 5 years? It’s a highly censored, tightly controlled, far left echo chamber.

wow piefed is kinda taking off
Thats awesome.Its not like we cant all get what we want. Some will want lemmy, some will want piefed, some will want mastodon/kbin/mbin/etc...etc... Posts/comments show up in all. Its nice to have options.

C is easy as well.. For me, even more easy than python, as I read like 100x more C++ rather than python..
I don’t even bother to write python anymore
I let it generate by AI nowadaysHonestly as long as its a "supported" language and well built, I would argue the language doesn't matter as much as its execution.
I make my $$ on python, but C/C++ is soooo much better than when I started back a couple of decades ago. both are "fast enough". Im glad there are people like you that like to work with the Cs of the world :).

This is the sweet spot. After the initial teething pains but before the bigots and nazis take over.
The bigots and nazis are already quarantined at exploding heads thankfully

“Everything I don’t like is tankie” freaks just love shoehorning “tankies” into everything it’s so funny
It's more tedious than funny, honestly

far left echo chamber
Here we go again with people who call themselves right-wingers making themselves the victims.
You want to explain how /r/Conservative bans anyone who has a different opinion? Or why /r/worldnews is controlled by AIPAC interests that support the genocide in Palestine through the terrorist IDF army. Or why /r/protectandserve is a heavily moderated far right-wing subreddit that supports police brutality?
It's almost like people with fucked up views don't like to get told they're fucked up. Wow, what a revelation.
-
Its been at a pretty consistent 50k which means we retained 25% of the users from our peak. Its 37.5k at the moment with 1.8k on piefed. There is another 18k users once NodeBB federations integrates.
Its a decent little community, enough to be self sufficient and enough for new users to feel like they arent joining a ghost town.
How can one obtain these numbers? Is there like a statistics website?

Reddit is anything but far left. Only a conservative would think that

Thank you for taking the time to call out these specific examples of ops claim being a ridiculous farce

Appearently the algorithm of Reddit has become shit this last days

Been here since November. Seeing a lot more upvotes and comments on posts than when I got here.
-
The graphs there for posts and comments are for count of posts on lemmy directly, total, not per month. The posts/month seems stagnant, although its hard to tell as the data shown there is burried by a couple of bot instances that completely hide the overall trend.
Ah, it says "by month", not "per month". Well, shit, that's not good news then.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Nobody is recording long-term stats yet AFAIK, so you have to find a workaround. It seems the rest of Lemmy is growing relative to Hexbear, at least.Edit: Nevermind, there are sites being linked here. It looks like by MAU it's more or less holding steady. Which maybe means Hexbear is dying from toxicity and infighting?

Small enough to see the same few people on multiple threads and posts, large enough for a sense of activeness

It's not. But mods generally just ban/threaten you if you post anything they disagree with. just like reddit. they have an agenda and if you are not on board with it 100% you are to be purged.
for example i've been banned from multiple lemmy communities because I dared to disagreed with the 'autism/non NT make you superior' narrative quite a few communities here were pushing. or questioning the 'perfection' of Linux...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, you did a bit more than that, going by your mod history.
Anyway, it's true that mods tend to like power tripping, because it's about the only way to get something positive out of the boring and unpleasant work of an unpaid internet moderator.

No, the MAU (which is what I assume you meant) seems to be going down very slowly. Though it probably will start going up once again someday. Possibly when the new digg is released to the public or when Reddit pulls another shit that not even the current Redditors will be able to tolerate.
I personally don't have a problem with the current state. I like it here. I recognize lots of people every day comment and post. It feels cozy.
Have you been keeping a record?

Currently trending down. And it's all your fault for taking a break.
Hmm. The monthly post count keeps going up, though. Assuming it is monthly and not total, which seems likely from the occasional decreases.

Yeah, but look at the scale involved. That being said, I do expect it to stick around and become a major part of the ecosystem.

Honestly, I'm not complaining about it going from 2 mil at its peak (2023!) to 1.25 mil now. That's way more people than I thought!
