dev’d an online course web app and website for a community college. users/activity was very cyclic. could see the hits going up every Sunday night as students tried to catch up before Monday class. usage normally dropped around weekends/holidays. maybe similar surges depending on time of day.
While many suppose that majority just moved back, they didn’t! Less than half of users actually left Lemmy after an exodus, and now about what, 95% of users?..are actually from there.
Commenting there seems to be like yelling into a giant void with everyone on the planet, here it feels like screaming into a smaller void with few other people who seem to be super cool.
Really has felt like the thrediverse has been quite active lately. During the exodus we had a lot of posting about... the exodus. But now we have a lot of posting about actual topics and what feels like a pretty healthy community building save for a few instances that will probably get defederated before too long.
Same I find the engagement is raising. The threads here are more sincere. Sure it’s not as active when it comes to some things but that’s fine IMHO. Building an online community right takes time.
I greatly appreciate the lack of reddit meta getting repeated adnauseum. 69 and 420 references really stop being funny when repeated in so many threads.
Oh sorry, I wasn’t clear enough. I’m taking about the posts that have an authoritarian slant to them.
“There should only be one (memes or whatever) community across the fediverse. Someone… should deal with all these copies.”
Fedi doesn’t map exactly into their single server reddit experience. They want to re-create king spaz for some reason. It was kinda gross and I felt a few randos really showed their ass.
What I noticed is the server I used to login to disappeared all of a sudden so I guess all the users who were on that server couldn’t login and leaving. Same is happening across fediverse.
Was it FMHY? Some instances that were created during the Reddit blackout went down to technical or logistical issues and decided to operate under other instances
Can confirm, I made an instance around the time that the blackout started - unfortunately the hardware it was running on was starting to experience some issues. It’s still up and running, but for now I’ve made a fresh new instance on way better hardware - and this time without a subdomain 😅
Was my first thought. /r/friends doesn’t work on the mobile site now and that’s the only thing I ever go to back to Reddit for anymore. That’s one content stream I can’t duplicate anywhere else.
I came to Lemmy after Reddit’s crackdown on third-party clients. Looking back, I’m pretty happy with how Lemmy is going and how it feels right now. The number of users decreased after the initial spike, sure, but it also stabilized at a respectable level. There are things I’m still missing, but the way it is definitely works for me.
Same situation for me. This is such a nice place compared to reddit. I still think it would be better if it grows some more, but one of the nice things about Lemmy is that it has a more “niche” user base
Yeah, same here. I’m not nearly as active here as I was on reddit, but there’s not as much going on here and activity feeds itself. It’s fine, I read more books.
I was having difficulty with servers being down and nothing loading when I first deleted Reddit. Things finally seem stable so I’ve been a lot more active.
