Don’t pressure yourself to become an active monthly user. Just take it easy. I came here to have a peace with me not constantly shitposting to gain karma.
Meh, lemmy is already interesting enough to kill time and past that I don’t care
i comment more than monthly on lemmy
It doesn’t matter. I get all my news here and I can comment if I want. That’s enough
It’s dead Jim.
I mean, isn’t this exactly what we would expect? Big influx of people when reddit does something unpopular and people want alternatives, then a decrease as the anger fades and people either decide they don’t like Lemmy for some reason, or just settle down into their normal, less active amount of posting, stabilizing at a number of users lower than the peak but higher than before the influx. Assuming that Lemmy still is around the next time Reddit gets people mad, it’ll happen again, just like how Mastodon gets an influx of new users whenever Twitter does something to upset it’s userbase.
Don’t let yourself be fooled. Lemmy is doing great. It’s got a lot more user than half a year ago and it will continue to grow. You should look at the bigger perspective here. People are starting to understand the point of the Fediverse more and more and it will eventually take over enshitified platforms such as Reddit
I don’t care I’m here to stay. Only community I miss is formuladank for F1 shitposting. Been trying to get it going here but no traction yet. Everything else, Lemmy 4 life.
On my phone both lines are the same color.

buggy, infrequent updates, lack of content, an ideological hive mind…is anyone really surprised?
What this shows us is that more people are joining lemmy, but even more people are either leaving or going into lurker mode, as Lemmy only counts people who have commented or posted in that time period as active users, whereas most social media counts any activity while logged in as active. You have to realize that people who use reddit as Google search results don’t usually interact with the content there and most won’t even make an account.
On the upside, with fewer people, it’s easy to get noticed here just by contributing good content since you don’t really get drowned out here because of the democratic upvote based sorting instead of black box personalized recommendation algorithms. So with relatively low amount of effort, you can make sure your content is being seen instead of relying on analytics and metrics.
The last thing to in mind that Lemmy is only one aspect of ActivityPub, and Mastodon’s growth is currently the highest right now because of the ecosystem created by the whale fall of Twitter, which indirectly grows Lemmy as Mastodon users can post directly to federated Lemmy communities.
thanks margot robbie
There seemed to be an influx of reddit users but probably didn’t like Lemmy’s own distinct user base (*nix users for example)
I am kind of glad it settled down because I much prefer Lemmy over reddit

We can be if it makes your experience better!! Watch!
Dizzirron I bet you don’t even use Linux!
What did you call me???
That you are a magnificent bastard!!
People are way angrier here than in Reddit, because in Reddit, mods usually clean up the angriest people from the whole platform.
I just got recommended this site after posting on reddit re: predatory algos and the necessary regulations needed to protect people and how algos have manipulated the UX so much its disrupted the originally intended purposes; ie insta has effectively become a marketing and advertising platform.
So in response someone suggested finding alternatives to the popular social media sites and used Lemmy as an example.
I have been loving it thus far - its old school reddit.
this is my first comment on lemmy!
Someone posted metrics for how many users vote. 131k.
Do votes count as activity as well? Or just posts and comments?
It really should.
Strong agree
I can see the arguments for both, to be honest. Ideally I’d like to be able to see statistics for both. Active Users and Active Contributors?
You can already see how many posts and comments users make. Isn’t that the same?
Well, as mentioned that is also covered by the Monthly Active Users metric that already is available. But in addition to that, I think it would be interesting to see the number of users who read and vote but don’t post or comment. Even though posting and commenting is the biggest part, actively voting is still an important part of the ecosystem.
True, could be nice to see data on content consumers, and not just the content creators.
I changed the algorithms in programming.dev to take into account voters in the activity. Since stats are all calculated locally you can view any community from programming.dev to get the monthly active users including that change
e.g. https://programming.dev/c/[email protected] shows 27.8k users/month on p.d which is almost as much as the value here for all of lemmy excluding voters
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
*edit: so, that seems to not have worked in the Boost app. Is it a link for anyone else?
That doesn’t seem to make a hyperlink either.
All three of those work in Thunder!
Thanks! I guess it’s just a bug in Boost.
That’s crazy! User/month goes from only 7.5k active to 27.8k. And that’s just people voting. What about people who only read a post?
Dont have access to those stats in the database so adding on voting is the best I can do
Theres a post read table but its only people who have explicitly marked something as read and is way less than the post likes
Do posts get marked as read when you read the comments? There’s the x new comments feature, so something must be storing that timestamp.
I dug through the code and turns out the post read table does store when its read (with number of comments when it was read stored in a person post aggregates table), it just only stores it for people from your instance so I cant get accurate numbers from all of lemmy (and why it seemed like there was a low amount)
Agreed. Lurkers are what keep these sites alive.
Votes unfortunately don’t count
Damn, I’d better keep commenting, I usually just lurk/vote
halfyear includes people trying out different instances; monthly shows just the one(s) they settled on
Too many armchair lefties here.
COME TO SOUTH AMERICA FOR A WHILE BEFORE YOU THINK FAKE COMUNISM = GOOD.
communism is a classless stateless moneyless society. which part of South America has that?
Comunism is a good idea
But attracts badddd leaders. On Every level.
Who had that? EVERY SINGLE (NON WESTERN) COUNTRY THAT HAS EVER EVEN let the narco dictators get votes. Cuba venezuela argentina ecuador, loads of Latin American ones. ALL FCKED BECAUSE OF FRAUDULENT TANKIE CARREER POLITICIANS
none of those societies are communist.
Dude come to South America…
LEFT WING POLITICIANS STEAL AND NEPOTISE AND RUIN THE ENTIRE CONTINENT.
& you are correct : THERE ARE NO, HAVE NEVER BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE ANY COMUNIST COUNTRIES. Because the leaders will neverrrrrrr be honest.
Power corrupts, yes.
But for comunism, unfortunately, it’s WORSE: ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY.
BY ALL MEANS VOTE RED IN USA AND EUROPE. but that doesn’t mean you can trust NARCO POLITICIANS in the rest of the world. PROVEN FACT.
a communist country is an oxymoron: communism is stateless.
Indeed. Stateless Senseless Scienceless Systematically SoSuperStupid Be poor so the presidents son can have a yacht like bill gates
you can’t havea president and be stateless.
It gets better if you block Lemmy.ml. It’s really just Lemmygrad pretending to be more moderate, and failing horribly.
I’d prefer the term statism, but I agree with you.
But what we forget is that not long ago Lemmy was very empty at least in my experience. So I left for some period, but when I came back July this year it was just completely changed. And it stayed this way, I don’t need reddit anymore personally
I’m contributing because I’m a bit of a meme repository and I get a more positive reception here than I do on Reddit.
Lemmy is in a healthy state.
