There’s a lot of discussion about the “comments and posts per days” metrics, the consensus seems to be that they should be “total” rather than “per day”

https://lemmy.world/comment/13761285

People are posting the same, the graphs just go up because they are about the total number of comments and posts, not daily.

Meaning that we indeed have hit a plateau of 44k monthly active users.

It’s a one way federation: they only fetch Lemmy’s comment, but don’t allow other instances to get their content.

There are more details in the post linked in the OP

ActivityPub I would say, they show up on https://lemmy.world/instances for instance

api.clubsall.com
clubsall-api.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api.appcafe.workers.dev
clubsall-api3.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api2.appcafe.workers.dev
clubsall-api2.renchesterjramos.workers.dev
clubsall-api4.renchesterjramos.workers.dev

Cross-posts are not fully implemented on Piefed: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/206

45k monthly active users on 14 October
44k monthly active users on 11 December

The first graph is generally considered the most relevant to assess the activity on the platform

Happy to help

photon is still completely open source and the project is open to contributors, worst case hypothetical scenario of if the project ever gets abandoned it can always be forked, continued, or even better it can be handed by the current dev to someone who can continue to keep it alive.

Like the old.lemmy interface which hasn’t been updated since July?

• https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/graphs/contributors

I’m pro FOSS, but that’s not a silver bullet that magically attracts developers to work on projects. We’re still a 45k monthly active users community which relies on 5 devs which work on Lemmy, and maybe 2 on each of the alternatives (Mbin and Piefed).

The appeal for text-based forums just isn’t there anymore.

Not so much unfortunately

That’s Tesseract.

To be honest you are better off using 3rd party apps on mobile

It’s a matter of preference: https://lemmy.world/post/22994355

I wish you’d treat LW as you do any other instance. We’re not hostile to other instances, and I think there’s a healthy balance right now. It doesn’t hurt Lemmy to have a bigger, more mainstream instance. I think defederation solely for the sake of defederation does hurt Lemmy.

I never advocated for defederation of LW, just for more decentralization rather than have 90% of the active communities on LW.

You never answered my latest comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/13624614

Just to make it sure, are you saying that it’s not true that at this moment

• [email protected] has 1.85k monthly active users
• [email protected] has 754 monthly active users?

What prevents you from locking [email protected], redirect to [email protected], and get that community more active?

I can even make you or any other LW mod mod of that community too, I’m not attached to being a mod, I just want communities to flourish on other instances as well.

I frequently engage with communities about cars, gaming, TV shows, entrepreneurship and general topics that are largely missing or underdeveloped on Lemmy.

There’s more potential for than just tech on Lemmy, but it seems like people just prefer to talk about this. A community like the two listed above, or [email protected] could be much more active, but people just don’t seem really into this.

I’m on BlueSky on top of IceShrimp because anything better than Twitter is good to use at this point.

Let’s see how downvoted I get.

I was more thinking that if you accept buses on your community, then maybe your community can become the one which can host all the content

Glad to hear!

Yes, downvotes will be ignored. On the other hand, you can’t downvote any post. This comes from a time where there was no option to disable downvotes display at a user level (came in 0.19.4 I think, LW is still on 0.19.3, so you probably never tried it out).

No. Discuss.online explicitly refer to it in their sidebar. Other instances have other rules, some may don’t have any (but I don’t know any of those)

Ah, that was it!

@[email protected], check the second link in the comment above!

Hey, how are you doing?

https://phtn.app/ has the latest version, seems quite faster
