You look a bit skinny, son.

don't forget the ' i am sad and lonely and broke, how do i get a gf' posts.
I have literally never seen one post like that on lemmy.
-
Haven't had to deal with a single power hungry mod since I've been here.
Oh boy. Yepowertrippingbastards are a thing on lemmy.

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.
Permanently brigaded lmao

Quality over quantity.
Unfortunately there is a handful of "power users" spamming low quality memes in all 10 communities they created, every day.

Good. Stable and safe growth, not infinite or quick.

I agree except it feels like people are way more active here than on reddit, me personally I never commented but I comment all the time on here. Lemmy feels really active even without a ton of users (especially discussion threads)
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, we need more users. The fediverse/lemmy is stagnating in content because we don't have enough people with niche interests. It's mostly US-centered politics; we need more stuff from around the world. Fediverse/lemmy needs more users.
I like it the way it is, but fuck me right

Well goddammit I've gotta post more now then don't I? Gimme a second to start the music...
Also another meme to add to the folder of memes made about me... I have a folder. This is such a weird feeling.
Tell your godfather I said that I do not know him but I love him and wish him nothing but the most aggressive (in however he wishes it) Pon Farr.
Start the music you say? Daring today, aren't we? [Full disclosure, everything I know about Star Trek comes from memes and the 12 or so TNG episodes I've seen]

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.

That would definitely stink up the place. But... I have a plan.
We need to come up with a new SSO for the fediverse, one that has an OPAD that only yields a code if it doesn't detect BO.

Same. I migrated from reddit because reddit are miserable bastards. There's still some humanity here

Block them?
-
That is a naive point IMO. I have a 50+ word long block list, and I'm still getting US politics, tankie propaganda or climate doomer post on my mainly meme feed. I haven't figured out how to properly filter them out, but at that point the platform would look almost abandoned from the perceived lack of posts.
Piefed has multicommunities. Makes it easier to have different feeds based on different topics

Are we looking at the same graph? What i see is stable decline.
-
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.
Activity on feddit.uk communities seems quite good?
- !casualuk@feddit.uk
- !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

I mean, we could, but we lack the niche communities...
-

The worst of the trolls seem to get bored and move on.
Most of the posts here have good intentions and the admins are trying to keep things good
-

Messy, the peaks are from when Reddit did stupid shit or when bots where rampant, there's no one taking out ads, app stores aren't promoting us, this is all organic traffic. I think we're pretty healthy honestly. There's still a little flux, some churn right at the top as people who need those niche communities still flirt with reddit.
I tried to stand up a couple of channels for games I was playing, most of my contributions were met with nothing or downvotes and no reasons so I just changed servers and let them go.
-
Lemmy didnt exist before 2023? News to me lol
Meaningfully no
that line to the left would just sit there near 0 and squiggle
-
Who is the real competitor? The people who are fed up with Reddit, where do they go to for discussions?
Depends on your guidelines for competitors. Just discussion, discord, x, bluesky, Facebook, Mastodon, many suck it up and go back to Reddit.

i dont block news channels, just the POLITICS on worlds. it was problematic enough in my lemmy.ee account they misinterpeted my comments as being anti-semitic/not being pro-israel, when i was calling out seinfeld and his wife as as a israeli shill that was agitating protests in the campuses. plus i detect alot of tankies, tankies adjacent on that communities too. news i dont have problem with discuss similar issues. of course any stray users that are tankies i will block too, and then people that try to disguise thier comments as helpful but is actually be super condescending.
Yeaaahhh, tankies are a pretty big issue on Lemmy, sadly... They don't seem to understand they're the equivalent of a dumbass redneck screeching about what ever false 'fact' they heard on Fox News, but from a supposed left framing...
Part of the reason I blocked news, too. Not only do I not want to doomscroll, but I don't want to get in an argument over how the news isn't so bad actually and Russia/China/Mao totally already have a solution we just need to implement or some such shit. (ok bad generic, but it's hard to generalize their flavor of fake enlightenment. lol)
Almost as bad as the libertarians that think deregulating capitalism is the perfect solution to every problem.
