You look a bit skinny, son.

Activity on feddit.uk communities seems quite good?
- !casualuk@feddit.uk
- !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
Maybe they're looking at !unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml, !unitedkingdom@europe.pub or !unitedkingdom@lemmy.world. Still weird given the UK is one of better served countries on here.
-
Ah yes, 2023 the year lemmy went to shit.
-
I have literally never seen one post like that on lemmy.
Maybe they're confused about the greentext communities.
-
Should aggregate number of Lemmy and Piefed users (and maybe Mbin, NodeBB too), and see if the graph looks very different then
-
PieFed and Mbin are both different implementations of the ActivityPub Protocol just like Lemmy. Although I doubt this graph includes either of them, despite how many left Lemmy for Piefed when Lemm.ee went down.
I looked and PieFed adds another ~1600 monthly active users and Mbin a further ~700 to the mix. PieFed starts out its chart with single digit user counts and ends with three orders of magnitude growth, so definitely not flat at all, though stable over the last few months.
I think Piefed has mostly been migrations from Lemmy (especially from lemm.ee), that's why it had a big jump and then seems to have stabilised.

I recently joined Lemmy, i can't share your experiences with a "decline" but i gotta say Lemmy works because it's quality over quantity.
Recognizing usernames again makes you realize you're in a small community and people generally have similar interests and passions to you.
I (mostly) try to put more thought into what i post here. The change I wanna see in online communities starts with me.
15 Upvotes and a well thought out comment on a post feels more rewarding than a lot of Karma and people trying to 1-up each other with snappy remarks. Also: no bots

PieFed is also advertised often over in Reddit, like in r/RedditAlternatives.

Thank you for your service. I agree with you on the issue, but am a bit afraid that if more people onboard here, the threads will be just the same reddit hivemind circlejerk like ”i also choose this guys wife” etc. But since there is no karma to gain here I wish it will stay like this.
I honestly found that one funny, and I don't mind the funny comments either.
Still I get what you are saying about the problems.

It is funny indeed, but after a while I felt exhausted after reading the same repetitive threads over and over

Do we? Why do we need the niche communities?
Reddit didn't start with them either. Neither did Digg.
All dig needed was the Florida man tag, And not to release dig 2.0

Also, it was a joke about keenflame asking us to fuck them and that being a niche community.
Seriously though, the algorithm is a powerful mistress. Every time somebody leaves here to go visit a niche community that we're lacking. They get a taste of that sweet algorithm again.
I managed to pretty much carve out all the algorithms in my social graph. Most of the stuff I'm seeing is from communities that I've curated. There is no doom scrolling on my feed. I really dearly love being able to consume, get the most important news and a couple of lols and then go about my day.

That is true because the individual engagement is much higher in a smaller community. On reddit you'd just be one of thousands shouting into the void. It also helps that Lemmy pushes new comments to the top.
Yeah the pushing new comments to the top is my favorite part about lemmy, it's a good mix of top comments and I still get to see a -20 comment from time to time (and sometimes they're right)

Fucking me is all but niche
