Joined up yesterday and have been pretty happy so far. Have been looking for an alternative so i could ditch reddit since the API changes and had no idea this place existed until i saw a random thread yesterday
Welcome! It's a great, homely place that still feels a little bit like the old internet.
In addition to the already mentioned Lemmyverse, two other great ways of finding active communities are [email protected] and [email protected]

Hexbear going down, [email protected]
Ahh okay. Thanks.

Ha, I knew setting up my own server would attract more people!!! /s
But it is a great development, happy to see it

The entire fedi is going up with new users. We keep having wins.
Kinda easy when traditional keeps hitting itself over and over.
I suspect the fediverse is stickier than mainstream social media, since there’s no incentive to be anti-consumer, and anyone can make their own frontend.
It’s only a matter of time until these companies keep making unforced errors and people join us.

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]

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.

I have no idea, Boost has always been one to go long periods between updates, but it is getting pretty long since the last one

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.

^ 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

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.
