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

I created an account a while back and I'm back after receiving a warning from reddit for upvoting certain content. I was going through the communities looking for stuff to subscribe to and I was a bit surprised by the number of communities with a couple thousand users and the last post being half a month or more out.
I hope people's suggestions about making the instances and navigation more seamless is being taken seriously because there hasn't been much change there from what I'm seeing.
Even though 50k is a nice number of MAUs and allows for active discussion in the bigger communities, it's still not enough to fuel niche communities - at least presuming the 90-9-1 rule applies even to early adopters such as us. While I agree that discoverability could be a lot better, I think what's holding back the smaller communities right now is lacking critical mass more than anything else.

Welcome!
If you're new, I definitely recommend checking out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for finding new communities to subscribe to, rather than just browsing "all". There are a lot of weird communities out there when you just browse "all"...
https://sub.rehab/ is also good.

Hexbear going down, [email protected]

^ one of the bigger Tankies around, "good posts" aka anything pro-CCP, pro-Russia, pro-NK and nothing not
Anything otherwise is considered "liberal"/Western propaganda/"CIA something or another"
Just wait till they break out the random blog links and YT videos lmao

Reddit has become very strange.
Shadowbanning sucks when your on the other side of it.
Forever mods that have hundreds of default subreddits act like dictators. Banning people from all their collections of subreddits without anyone knowing.
Removing the ability for users to see actual number of votes up/down.
And now with the whole "don't upvotes certain content or you will get a strike". Never mind that isn't how the site works at all.
They haven't come out with a feature that people have wanted in the last couple of years.
Getting rid of coins/rewards just to empty everyone's stock and then bringing them back again without 1:1 compensation and forgetting everyone who gave their coins away before they would vanish

This post did not contain any content.
I am pretty convinced these stats are low because I remember the early years of Reddit feeling much less active than the Threadiverse does now and I have to assume Reddit's MAUs in 2008-9 were at least above 100K.
Regardless, this is nice to see and I recommend everyone check out [email protected] if they are interested in helping to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit.

Welcome! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected] . [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a .world account so you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don't go there)

A bunch of communities were created at the last Reddit exodus and left to die. Buuut some of the communities might have moved to another Lemmy server or simply died out because the same community exists on another Lemmy server.

What is the reddit drama this time?
It's the ever enduring brain melting Enshittification... I heard you can now buy decorations or something similar for your sub. I don't have a source for this, but afaik they have been adding new features for reddditors to spend their money on.
-
https://sub.rehab/ is also good.
Sub.rehab is super outdated and https://fediverser.network/ is easier and crowdsourced.

Getting in trouble for upvoting restricted material. If you continually upvote stuff that reddit deems not allowed on the site you get banned.

People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
I'll still check sometimes on Reddit when I'm at my desk if I feel like it and I've got time, so like barely anymore.
When 3rd party apps died I moved here.
After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you'll get banned, I'm just waiting to catch ban over there.

And you’re the biggest anti-communist “leftist” around.
NOoo TAnKiES AREN’t CoMmUNISt They’RE AuthoritArIan. Every time you say that you only show your ignorance. Read an actual book, or stop talking nonsense. Stop trying to fabricate a pacifist communism, and just admit that you are anti-communist full-stop.

Use Reddit Enhancement Suite. You'll thank me later.
makes red it much more usable and easy on the eyes.

Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.
I still don’t really understand but i am in

Stop trying to fabricate a pacifist communism
Ah ok, so if authoritarian communism is the only form of communism that exists then eroding human rights ever further in the pursuit of it is A-OK then?
Sorry, I don't subscribe to that, I personally would love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime, but not at the sacrifice of basic human rights like freedom of speech and inviting even worse censorship.

Skill issue, I would simply choose liberal reforms, despite their never succeeding.
