[Answer to yesterday's question] The number of active users on join-lemmy.org is now back to normal

join-lemmy.org/instances

For mods: I hope it’s okay, if not feel free to remove it, but as a lot of people were commenting on the other thread while the reason of the change had been given in the top comment, I thought it was worth it to make a dedicated post.

Thanks Blaze

Blaze OP ,

You’re welcome!

Is this only users on Lemmy instances?

Yeah, it's a site dedicated specifically to Lemmy. So Mbin and Piefed are not counted, neither is Mastodon or any other service. :)

Blaze OP ,

Indeed

For them

Thanks! I haven't seen that site before. Happy to see PieFed on the rise!

So lemmy.world is still excluded from the list but the active users from it are counted in?

lemmy.world is so big that it breaks federation to geographically distant lemmy instances. Driving more users to it wouldn’t help anyone and defeats the purpose of decentralisation.

Blaze OP ,

I still feel bad for aussie.zone and their 1-week delay with LW

bdonvr ,

Yes, essentially.

this place still feels much emptier than reddit :(

Blaze OP ,

It looks live you’ve been here for two months, how is it so far? You mention Lemmy being emptier, which topics interest you? Maybe we can suggest you a few communities.

tbh- I had made my account 2 months ago, but ONLY STARTED USING IT just a week ago cus I was locked out for whatever reason. I had forgotten about it then but now im desperate for a reddit replacement because reddit wont answer back my 20 appeals :’ )

Im interested in shitposting, Costume construction/cosplay, I also ask a lotta questions n stuff, Home DIY improvement is a new one… That should be most of it.

Blaze OP ,

Then I guess you already know

For general discussion we also have !casualconversation

There are a few threads with other active communities on !newcommunities, feel free to have a look there too, maybe something will catch your interest!

Here’s my tip - subscribe to a bunch of things of interest, and set your subscribed feed to top for the day. You’ll likely see a bunch of interesting posts.

Then browse all, top for 6 hours, and you’ll see some wide variety (except for days following a debate like today, that’d going to skew political heavily for obvious reasons).

You’ll find new and interesting communities to subscribe to, and make your subscribed feed all the better.

Personally I have different accounts for different interests, and for a few of them I rarely leave the subscribed/top for the day. They are more focused, and without a good multi-community feature that’s universal, its the next best thing.

Hope you enjoy it here!

Reddit has millions of active users.

Diddlydee ,

That’s a good thing. Less argumentative assholes and memelords rehashing the same tired old crap.

I just got fairly downvoted and made fun of on a post of mine asking about jobs where they dont have a dress code- and someone called me a fucking anime girl or some shit. I guess it was from the Text emojis I was using- but like damn that was my second post here on this site😒

Blaze OP ,

Sorry to hear 😔

LainTrain , (edited )

wow that’s harsh why’d they…

sees username

That checks out ig

Blaze OP ,

To be fair I’ve seen the comment, it wasn’t really welcoming.

People complain we’re only so many people here, but when I see this kind of interactions it definitely doesn’t help

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Yup, too many hostile group in here it easily drown up the good one. It’s especially harsh when people decided to post and all they get is downvote for no reason.

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual ,
@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world avatar

It was my reddit username and I love that name so damn much cus it was funny- now reddit wont fuckin give me my account back and im still pissed off about it ;-;

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Why would it matter though? It’s not the worst offender and have nothing to do with what they asked.

bigboig , (edited )

Paraphrased, “I don’t wanna bed rot at home for my job.” “Yikes, what a main character.”

Lmao hope they were making a poor joke

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble ,

IDK about that. Honestly it seems like a lot of the assholes just went here.

Brkdncr ,

Use the All function and when something bubbles up to you that you like, subscribe to it.

Took me a few weeks before I could stop browsing all. Using Voyager helped.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Hard to compare though, one is in the hundredth million of active user, one barely scratch 50k, kinda different league.

demoman ,

Does anyoke know what the requirement is to be considered an active user? Does this count lurkers who don’t post or does simply viewing content include them? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, I’m just curious and lazy
