I’ll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.
Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.
I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.
You know it’s bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg
MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?
Monthly Average Users
as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)
For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.
I wonder what the arc will look like this time.
Make Americans Useful.
Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.
I’m in this picture and I like it!
People are finally done with reddit’s shit! Thank God and welcome
Nice
I guess some people get off on go team go, but to me looking at market share is very corporate thinking. If lemmy is better than reddit (which I think it is) it will just naturally grow, which is great. Whet I’m cheering for is taking social media away from the business world by doing it better for free - whether that turns out to be lemmy or some other software.
Woo! That’s awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.
We are already successful, I’m seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

I’m calling this one the exodus of st mangione
Luigi Migratione
I like Lemmy, I like that the ratio of tankie scum to normal person is decreasing, but I really don’t like people who worship Luigi.
Have you considered reddit? I hear it’s a great platform for people without any sense of humour.
To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use “Thunder” and it works great.
Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.
You can just browse lemmy in a mobile browser like waterfox just fine…
Why would anybody want to install unnecessary third party apps? That sounds awful.
Because 3rd party apps provide a native app experience to the mobile. Its far nicer to browser with all kinds of gestures than be limited to a 3rd party web browser
I havent used many instances but I’ve never used one which didn’t have a mobile site.
“Hello, HR!”
Just stay on the right side of pineapple on pizza.

Insta-ban!
Voyager also work good.
Yup that’s what I’ve been using. The only downside is it’s hard to know who responds to whom.
Or if you like it simple I can only recommend Jerboa
Hmm. I wonder if the server i just launched was number 600 😁😁🔥😁
Worth noting is that what counts as an “active user” has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an “active user” was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.
I think that change was done way back when. Do you have a reference for the algorithm change? I tried a quick search and came out empty.
Huzzah, us lurkers now count towards the global stats!
Good point

Slow and steady wins the race. Also helps to not be shit. looking at reddit.

Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.
Honestly the Tankie presence on lemmy is kind of a shit experience. But its shit that doesn’t sell your data so I’m cool with it.
They’re being diluted though! It was so much worse last year
It is really awesome here. Like the good ol internet days.
Agreed. I hope it doesn’t become so popular that it turns to shit.
Eh. to some degree, enshittification is going to happen as more people come in, because more people = more shitty people. If we want to have the good niche communities that are IMO the only excellent thing about reddit, we’ll have to put up with the fact that that also means a bunch of annoying people use the service.
At least Lemmy has far, far better tools for dealing with them.
Our most precious features is you’ll never have to. If a community turns to shit, they just get defederated. If you can’t find a server that defederates them, you can host it yourself. Your groups will be smaller, and you’ll lose something in the transition, but what you have is what you’ll put up with.
