You look a bit skinny, son.

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

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

I like it the way it is, but fuck me right
I mean, we could, but we lack the niche communities...

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

I sold all of my ethereum when it was $150

Do we? Why do we need the niche communities?
Reddit didn't start with them either. Neither did Digg.

Well, no, the site doesn't /need/ them as such but 100% it's a major issue for people coming over. Their hobbies are represented on Reddit. But not on here.

Back in my day, we kept StickPage.com alive with a community of maybe 100 animators. We were happy and productive.
Quality over quantity. Chin up! -

What we're saying is that spikes in growth are not the 'best' thing and sometimes they fall off.
Having some people that stay regardless is what we want, even if it looks like a decline. These things come in waves.
The worst thing about fedi though is there's not enough safe places or mod tools for keeping marginalised folks safe, there's still a heavy culture of bigotry, people not wanting to examine their own biases etc. That's a big reason why folks leave.

I'm decently satisfied with my experience here. Be careful what you wish for

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.
