The groundwork made in the apps, frontends, tools and instances is finally paying off. The masses are noticing the value!
I finally made the move to setting up an account here and wean my reddit usage.
It's getting so bad on there, so many bots, trolls, and paid agitators. Plus the uptick in fascist apologists. Smaller communities with higher bars to entry produce better conversation, in my experience.
This place is so much better for actually discussing things.
Hey, where are you getting these stats from? I ask because FediDB is down.
Alternatively, https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats is still up
what you mean all around the GLOBE there are only 47k active users? How does it compare to Reddit? I am an ex redditor. Banned for a comment in unpopular opinion sub lol
I don't know how many users reddit has, but it is a lot more than lemmy. Lemmy is quite small in terms of number of users.
But I think focusing on relative numbers of users is a mistake. Forty thousand people is still a lot of people. And we can see that it is enough people to create a vibrant community with a steady stream of good content and conversations. So the fact that it is small compared to other social media is not really relevant, in my opinion. Having a thousand times more users doesn't make things a thousand times better - that's for sure.
(That said, I do think its worth noting if the number of users is going up or down... because if there was a significant downward trend, that would be a bad sign.)
Sounds like good news. Only heard about this place start of this year so glad to be in the numbers
👈 Hey!
