Lemmy Active Users looking good

Comments

  I think Lemmy is a good foothold for activitypub. Reddit has been going to shit for some time and their userbase is tech savvy enough to actually migrate to something like Lemmy in significant enough numbers for it to matter.

  I can only hope it continues to grow like this

  Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.

  The network effect is compounded by all the other applications that interop with Lemmy, ActivityPub apps sure but more so KBin and MBin and others that provide a similar service to Lemmy.

  I’m fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can’t seem to find the post now, though.

  • MindlessZ@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They did. I believe comments now count as activity where only posts did before?

      Ah ok. This is a very sensible change. I never post, but I interact probably once a month or so.

      Upvotes now count as well, AFAIK.

  Reddit making all third party apps a PAID service after releasing the paid API, and its first party app being total AD oriented instead of user orientef sure helped!

    100%. Reddit killed the vibe for the people that appreciate it the most.

  .ml needs to start handing out more petty bans to tamp down the enthusiasm again.

• AstralPath@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Does Lemmy need to grow for some reason? Sometimes I swear I can feel the Reddit community toxicity seeping in and its really disappointing. Honestly, for me personally if Lemmy continued on exactly as it is today, I’d be perfectly content.

  That said, if there are benefits to growth beyond the wide scope of mass adoption fucking over the proprietary social medias I’m all ears.

    Lemmy doesn’t have the niche communities that Reddit did, and those come with a larger user base.

    Lemmy has plenty of memes, politics, Linux, and anime, but there are many small communities which do not (yet) have active equivalents here.

    Here are a few of my own examples, but everyone will have their own unique list: r/wheresthebeef, r/Penderwicks, r/twistypuzzles, r/Cubers, r/fusion, r/legoRockets, r/HarryPotteronHBO, r/anarchycubing, r/deextinction, r/cubinggore.

    I would welcome more users if it means more niche communities.

  • dumpsterlid@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I understand what are you saying but forget about overall size of the community for a second, what lemmy would really benefit from is more niche subreddits with active users. That will only come from more people on lemmy and that is the real reason to desire lemmy growth besides a basic desire for other people to not be stuck in a shitty corporate silo.

  • VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well it’s not really just about making you happy, the project is about displacing corporate controlled media so that community projects and social movements can flourish allowing us up create a better world for all.

    I myself have very elitist and isolationist tendencies but I think it’s important to set them aside somewhat for the common good.

  • RobotToaster@mander.xyz ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There’s still a ton of niche subreddits that there’s no viable replacement for here.

    source
  • PugJesus@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’d like some niche communities to be more active, and realistically speaking that’s only going to happen with a bigger userbase.

    We can always crawl further in to hide from scary normal people, but the normal people need this type of platform too. We can just subscribe to our nerdy communities and stop browsing all or everything once there is too much stuff to browse that way anyway.

  How many are bots

  source

  • Ategon@programming.dev ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances

    The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users

  As long there is content, I’ll be here. Think same goes for others.

  My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.

    Tankies are the reason Lemmy exists in the first place.

  What’s up with the low in December?

  source

  • webghost0101@sopuli.xyz ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Over time people from that initial spike realized that the platform isn’t what they expected/liked, some likely went back to their previous platform but i am going to be optimistic and say they moved to mastodon.

    The climb we see now is fresh users that heard of lemmy and are now checking it out.

    //This is how i read this graph, other interpretation may be possible, you can’t really know for certain without more data.

    • cookie_sabotage@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Traffic peaked at the reddit migration, after that, people either left or became mostly lurkers, and since lemmy versions before 0.19 didn’t count votes as activity most users were not included in the graph.

      Now that instances are upgrading to 0.19 there’s an increase of activity.

      source
  • thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    0.19 broke federation for quite a lot of people for the majority of December, probably has something to do with it.

    I’ve been an almost daily Lemming since last summer but when nothing I posted was making it off my server for about three weeks there wasn’t much point!

  source
• egeres@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  According to: lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=270 the monthly active users are still in decline… even if we take into account the new way of counting active users, the previous bump comes from v0.19 being added to other servers

  source
• eletes@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Speculation on this graph alone, I would say that students being off/people avoiding family gave the bump in December. And I’d expect another bump in May/June as Summer starts

  source
• preasket@lemy.lol ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Probably has something to do with fewer political posts
