Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

  It’s really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

    Subjectively it feels more active around here altely though.

    Aren’t they both pulling the same activitypub data?

      only in theory, Pixelfed doesn’t use groups, so Lemmy cannot access their content since Lemmy can’t follow users

    Add in the mbin/kbin mau and the piefed mau and you probably have a lot more.

  Maybe because Meta is going to use your photos and all the other shit you post to train their AI models.

  I think they started doing this 2 days ago, it was in the news, here in Europe at least.

    I wish people cared but unfortunately it won’t change anything

  I hosted social.photo, which was a Pixelfed instance.

  I had an uptick in users when I started to consider shutting down the site. It was the reason, ultimately, I decided to shut down as soon as possible. The software is awful, and I don’t want to deal with the issues multiplied by growth.

  I decided to announce a shutdown by posting and hoping people see it because you can’t make an announcement to users on Pixelfed out of the box. I know there is an admin interface for it, but it doesn’t work.

  Afterward, many of my new users told me they came from other instances that shut down.

  This trend could be a blip as users create new accounts to migrate as they did before from their previous accounts. I know there is a user interface for this, but it doesn’t work.

  Or it could be the terrible spam filter that blocks real users and allows bots. So, real users aren’t there to report bots. This is compounded by an uptick in new hype instances. These are sometimes poorly moderated instances full of bots awaiting returning interest from their owners to get cleaned up or closed.

  Or it’s real!

    What about hosting Pixelfed is awful? I’m asking because I want to start hosting it by myself.

    I am so sorry to hear that. I run the Margit profile in your instance, but I wasn’t aware of your plans to shut it down.

    • jgrim@discuss.online ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yeah, it’s not been easy to moderate, update, & use. If enough people are interested, I’m open to keeping it running as a closed instance. The biggest issue is that there isn’t an out-of-the-box way for me to message all the local accounts to discuss this.

  I joined PixelFed after the initial hype, but the app wasn’t full featured enough nor did a lot of accounts move over from Instagram like they did from Twitter to Blue Sky so I fell off pretty fast.

  I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

    I understood nothing you just said. Are you an alien from mars, who’s almost learned english, but not quite?

    Because if so…that’s pretty impressive. But also, you should leave earth. Humans have been known to kill other humans for having a different skin color, or for believing in a different magical man in the sky. I can’t imagine what they’d do to someone from another planet!

    Earth is not tolerant of others.

    What do you mean by wow

      This should cover it fairly well.

  I’d love to try it at some point and check the features of it. Do they also have some sort of “reels”?

  • rumimevlevi@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Pixelfed allow videos but they are so rare. The creator has another app for short vidos

    • froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      What’s the app name? I’d love a bit of fedi brainrot

      How they managed that their application for an account got accepted.
