You look a bit skinny, son.

Who is the real competitor? The people who are fed up with Reddit, where do they go to for discussions?

Probably because >50% of the posts on here are about depressing American politics
Or “windows sucks, yay linux!“

The issue is there just isn't as much pull for the European/Canadian/Asian communities yet.
Every now and then I check to see if any activity has upticked in any of the UK subs yet, but the first post is always like a month ago. What can ya do.

Haven't had to deal with a single power hungry mod since I've been here.
Fr. I shared a meme the other day and was staring at New for about 10 minutes to see if it would get removed... then I remembered "This is Lemmy" lol
You could try to upload a pic on r/Pics and it would get autoremoved for "Having the wrong amount of pixels", and if you fixed it and messaged a mod they'd tell you "Actually we no longer accept .jpegs or .pngs. WebP only. Also, this is now considered a repost." I'm barely exaggerating.
-
If your model depends on users coming from lemmy, you're going to run out of users just the same.
If we factor all these softwares in together, the user amount might be steady or even climbing upwards. While this curve in OP is currently going down.

The European communities have some activity.

Does this include users of other platforms like Piefed?
No. It says Lemmy only.

Their behavior does not excuse yours. You still did it. Also, again, ableist slurs and trolling. You guilty.
Edit: lol. Lmao even.
Oh no. Do i have to go to internet prison? For these horrific crimes that i have forced you to endure.
-
Then post what you think is valuable.
You've really got this all or nothing mindset, huh? "I HAVE TO POST EVERYTHING ALL DAY SO THEREFORE I POST NOTHING"
K. Whatever you say, sweetie. Have fun with that
Edit: lol
Here's a thought. Perhaps limit yourself to one really good post a day rather than the 20 or so gargled garbage you send every day. K thanks.

Well said

Or “windows sucks, yay linux!“
don't forget the ' i am sad and lonely and broke, how do i get a gf' posts.

The worst thing is that the linux circlejerk leaks even to communities focused on other platforms, like apple, nintendo, microsoft, google. Effectively these communities are permanently brigaded.
-
This doesn't seem to be hoping for unlimited growth but rather that is has stagnated and is even falling. That can kill a community especially when it is as small as it is
You see decline. What I see is that a remarkable number of users have remained.

Let's talk about the Overton window.
At some point in time, the major social platforms will fuck up - probably by way of AI - and end up in a collective scandal that gives people a bad taste in their mouthes.
At that point y'all better have your talking points, framing, concepts and schpiel at the ready, because it'll be another chance to adopt even more users. So let me stress a couple of things:
You win more bees with honey, you should be more concerned about peoples wellbeing than your own opinion and start collecting valuable, objective and giving accounts - be they international, but most preferably local - across the fediverse to share with new users.
AGAIN!! You being a toxic little shit will repell people. If you REALLY CARE about GETTING PEOPLE OFF OF PREDATORY CORPORATE PLATFORMS plz be mindful, kind, shower, groom, keep your inside humor to your inside group, learn some rhetoric to improve your communication skills and remember:
you
win
more
bees
with
honeyBeing on your A-game does not mean Asshole-game. Plz do not stink up the place.
This certainly needs to be said and I know exactly what your talking about, but lets be real here. This is an online space, it's always gonna have that element to it.
I'm personally very excited to have more folks flow in from reddit tho.

- point people to one instance you like instead of a general website
- on Piefed, when people register, they can either join indeed the instance they're on, or have a look at other options: https://piefed.zip/auth/instance_chooser
Incidentally Piefed have nice trend. https://piefed.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48

Agreed, so much is stacked against us, these numbers show we are serious about making alternative communities.

Bluesky?
I imagine most people just want a replacement website, and think it was just one bad CEO and not enshittification. That's why the Linux users and leftists; we've been on the losing side of network effects before.

Bluesky is a Twitter alternative. It really doesn't compare to Reddit.

Star Trek too!

This is actually pretty good user retention. Most platforms bleed way more users after a surge in sign ups (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Bluesky).
Did Mastodon ever have users? Lol.
