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 got here from reddit yesterday , so it got me in… still have a ton to learn aboyt lemmy but its nice and cozy and people are not karmafarming or being assholes for sake of engagement
Lemmy has a bit of a learning curve if u come from twatter or facebook , but for a redditor it feels like a nice summer home.
It definitely needs more content but thats why we can make more and do more i guess ? Post memes , have talks , do usual things arround here and more people will come , esp with “buy european” movement promoting lemmy over reddit
I think we all need to learn to be okay with having less content. Makes the platform less addictive and makes us less prone to doom scrolling I think.
Yes and it’s higher quality content, reddit us pages of pure shit
I agree with you in principle , but doomscrolling isnt just about having content but its a symptom of something else entirely imo (algorithmic content , people being addicted to slop etc) … more content means more people at the end of the day , and more people means more interesting conversations , posts , interactions etc
I feel like I see a lot of fresh faces on Lemmy. It’s nice!
I’m one of them heeeeyyyy
