    I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.

    This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.

    Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.

    I created an account a while back and I’m back after receiving a warning from reddit for upvoting certain content. I was going through the communities looking for stuff to subscribe to and I was a bit surprised by the number of communities with a couple thousand users and the last post being half a month or more out.

    I hope people’s suggestions about making the instances and navigation more seamless is being taken seriously because there hasn’t been much change there from what I’m seeing.

      Even though 50k is a nice number of MAUs and allows for active discussion in the bigger communities, it’s still not enough to fuel niche communities - at least presuming the 90-9-1 rule applies even to early adopters such as us. While I agree that discoverability could be a lot better, I think what’s holding back the smaller communities right now is lacking critical mass more than anything else.

      A bunch of communities were created at the last Reddit exodus and left to die. Buuut some of the communities might have moved to another Lemmy server or simply died out because the same community exists on another Lemmy server.

      It’s the ever enduring brain melting Enshittification… I heard you can now buy decorations or something similar for your sub. I don’t have a source for this, but afaik they have been adding new features for reddditors to spend their money on.

      Getting in trouble for upvoting restricted material. If you continually upvote stuff that reddit deems not allowed on the site you get banned.

      Tension over there is huge. After I turned a little more political in my comments, it only took 2 months or to accrue 3 temp bans. The appeals were not heard, they are wrong and don’t care. The last appeal got me booted forever. Prepare for way more users.

        Instances - what are they and how does it work together. Also slow password reset emails. I have three accounts now.

        I still don’t really understand but i am in 🤷‍♂️

          Think about instances as email providers. You pick a provider (feddit.dk, feddit.uk, lemmy.wtf etc.) to access everything from all the other Lemmy providers + the rest of “the Fediverse”, which fx consists of Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed.

          Was it on Feddit.dk you had issues with slow emails? That might be something the admin, @SorteKanin@feddit.dk should look into.

            Thank you for the reply. The thing is, and I think this will apply to others too, I’m just a casual user. Unknown boxes scare me.

            Couldn’t they be hidden away on signup (prefilled) and only visible when you click ‘advanced’.

            Also, I have a mastodon account too. Are they now the same thing?

              Måske det hjælper hvis man skifter til dansk, så vi ikke bliver forvirret af sprogbrugen :)

              Som @meldrik@lemmy.wtf siger så er fediverset decentraliseret - det vil sige at i stedet for at der kun er en udbyder (fx Reddit), så er der mange udbydere af sociale medier som hænger sammen. Man plejer at kalde hver udbyder en “instans”, altså Feddit.dk er en instans, lemmy.world er en anden instans. Så man vælger en udbyder/instans, ligesom man vælger om man går i Netto eller Rema (selvom de jo tit har de samme ting).

              Mastodon fungerer på samme måde, dvs. der er mange instanser der kører Mastodon-softwaren som alle hænger sammen. Faktisk hænger Mastodon og Lemmy også sammen, da de bruger samme underliggende protokol. Det er der hvor det bliver rigtig fedt for så kan man begynde at skrive fra Mastodon til Lemmy eller den anden vej. Det ville svare til at skrive fra Twitter til Reddit eller den anden vej, noget man aldrig kunne forestille sig i de traditionelle kommercielle sociale medier.

              Jeg forstår godt at meget af det her er anderledes end hvordan de traditionelle centraliserede sociale medier virker, og jeg er sikker på du ikke er den eneste der er forvirret. Jeg tror faktisk det ville være rigtig fint hvis du stillede dine spørgsmål og forundringer som et indlæg i !spoergsmaal_og_svar@feddit.dk, så kunne andre på Feddit.dk også måske få glæde af forklaringerne :)

              What “boxes” are you talking about here, when signing up on a Lemmy provider?

              Mastodon and Lemmy is different software, serving two different functions, but they are connected. So it is possible for a user on Mastodon to create and comment on posts from Mastodon, on Lemmy.

              If you follow this link to Mastodon.social, you can see this post and our comments.

    I am pretty convinced these stats are low because I remember the early years of Reddit feeling much less active than the Threadiverse does now and I have to assume Reddit’s MAUs in 2008-9 were at least above 100K.

    Regardless, this is nice to see and I recommend everyone check out !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com if they are interested in helping to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit.

      It’s possible that early adopters (ie: the current Lemmy population) as a population subset don’t fully conform to the 90-9-1 rule.

        I would imagine that we’re all more motivated than average considering we’ve made the conscious choice to travel the path less taken because we have standards

      On the other hand, Reddit’s reported users numbers are way too high for the actual activity on the website. I follow /r/BuyfromEU quite closely since the sub blew up, and it’s definitely not that active for a place with supposedly 150k subs

        Great point, absolutely! I don’t subscribe to the “dead internet theory” but my time on the Fediverse has also convinced me that all of the corporate platform’s traffic numbers are almost certainly heavily inflated (probably to justify higher ad prices).

          Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore. I also wouldn’t put them past it to have ai generated comments.

      Hexbear went offline as the domain expired, went to auction and the domain admin was MIA. They’ve been restored as the domain admin (unfortunately) came back and reclaimed it
