Lemmy has 48k monthly active users: lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Mbin has 862 mau: mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Piefed has 133 mau: piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
48k? That’s it??? No wonder this place is so dead.
Also, what’s a mau?
I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.
I don’t click on the comments section if they have no comments. I am on here so often it could be described not as monthly, not as weekly, not as daily, not as hourly, but as minutely.
So I wake up, I see about 60 stories…and maybe 45 of them have comments. Ok. I have content for about an hour. I blocked I think 4 users? I’ve not blocked any communities, and I haven’t personally defederated from any instances, but I do reside on Lemmy.World which does defederate from quite a few communities.
Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users
We need millions of minutely active users. People who work boring jobs, and just spend all day on Lemmy, talking trash about reddit, and all agreeing that George Clooney is a smug bastard.
It’s an Egyptian cat.
I recall there was a third-party Reddit app developer who pivoted to Tildes at the time of the APIcalypse. Anyone know what became of them?
The app has been released: tildes.net/…/three_cheers_for_tildes_app_updates_…
Cool! Glad it worked out for them. Great name too.
What is this thing and who is supposed to care? It looks sort of like Mastodon: is it related?
It’s another reddit alternative.
It is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)
The message conveyed is that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed
Tildes is many years old, founded by a former mod who did a lot of good work in /r/games like 12 years ago and eventually got hired by reddit, then left to start tildes.

@Blaze @fediverse nice ui! is it federated ?

Nope. Discuit is not a part of the fediverse.

Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

Probably didn’t need the personal insult. Reddit with it’s CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I’m happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I’d be happy for Discuit to do well too.
