Pixelfed's first plateau in progress

I couldn't find anything
oddly, fediverse.observer actually was logging data before that time but it's only accessible to me via wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20241010192709/https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
@[email protected] any reason fediverse.observer is limited to only a few months? (no clue if this cross-platform ping will work but giving it a shot)

Was already weird as a redditor previously.
lmao, so true lol. It especially didn't help when I used to show my friends the most traumatizing posts of /r/shitposting. Now they don't trust Lemmy.

The retention is bad because the new user experience is abysmal. It takes a lot of effort, even for a tech savvy user, to get Lemmy & Mastodon to a usable state. Most people are not going to do that and will churn out when there's no interesting content and the app does weird things like shows you the same posts over and over, if you don't manually change settings for things like "hide read posts" in Voyager.

I can get about one user at a time, if I sit with them and explain it. The Fediverse is essentially the scene in Silicon Valley when Richard sits down with the focus group to explain to them for 3 hours how his software works. It's really cool. It should be the way forward, but the masses have no idea how this works and don't care to. They want a button to install. They want to search for their friend and find them immediately. I haven't found any fediverse software that can just do that much, let alone everything else that's expected.

that's because you're supposed to follow people you want to see. you know, social media.

I'm not a PHP fan but it scales better than Python or Ruby (Mastodon) does. I think Dan is a cowboy of an engineer, but blaming performance on his stack choice is a bad take.
-
I've only used insta for it's reels so idk how it's really an alternative for me
-
Other events will cause additional spikes for Pixelfed, Mastodon and others. Unless the US Oligarchs are going to stop supporting Trump's bat shit crazy policies they will keep pushing group after group off of their platforms.
It will be easier for the next wave to join as their is already content and already people they know and many issues addressed.

Though, I'd argue if we were awesome and had something truly nice to offer, we'd grow on our own. And not just if someone else messes up and becomes unbearable. But it's complicated.
-
I haven’t been posting as much as I was initially. That might be it.
-
Dans actions will decide user retention, I think.
-
It depends. I don’t feel forced to go on there because it has none of my friends.
Obviously I’ll go once every few weeks to check out cool photography but I’m really not an active user there. -
There is loops but its very very new so not as polished as other apps.

Lemmy reminds me of why I liked reddit in the first place. Back in 2010

I don't even know the point is stories. Why not post... A picture or video directly?
