Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there’s a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I’m curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?
side note: I’m trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.
I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.
I think being added to join-lemmy definitely helps but people that are already on Lemmy aren’t going to that site so it definitely shows that we are growing (or at least replacing people at a decent rate)
Sounds like you have a good instance, congrats on the growth
And this is your only comment. Congrats on setting up an instance.
This is the only comment your instance knows about because of the way federation works. I can see his comment history goes back 1.7 years
Thanks. Good to know.
You might want to set up a federation account on your instance, and add it on https://lemmy-federate.com/ for easy federation
That says my instance is not registered
You can register it. It will send you a dm on lemmy to validate. No password needed
I got logged in with my admin account. Looks to be a waiting process. So wait I shall do. Thank you for the help!
Ok. Thank you. I’m going to see into that when I get home
Oh, we’ve been around for 1,5 years. Just never been big enough to get on the join-lemmy.org page.
Thanks though!
