If anybody is skeptical, here are lemmy growth stats

BTW the-federation.info is unmaintained now, here's a really good alternative: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats

Lemmy peaked the moment I joined, and I will forever take the merit for that. /s

(Any idea what happened between January and February last year?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

It is in "low maintenance", since it's working ok that's not a problem for me.

The new project misses the most useful feature of the-federation, sorting instance by "active users" (If you want to go with the "wisdom of the crowds" when picking instances).

There also seems to be a big differences between the stats. Do you really think lemmy has over 20k users?

why is the user statistic so weird?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Iirc thats chapo.chat dropping out because they disabled the statistics endpoint at some time. Also i believe that lemmy.ml was counted twice for a time, when it was renamed from dev.lemmy.ml and redirected to the new domain.

lirc ... irc ... internet relayed chatLines ok, so, with that "chapo.chat" the # of "total local comments" went close to
2 000 000 ...
... then waa~aaah!~ , such a roller coaster.

..."Nodes" growth is good, tho. (sorry for the white graph to anyone using the dark view)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Is there anything regarding how evenly spread the user count is across nodes? If not, maybe developing some sort of formula or index may be good.

Federation only works if people arent all cramming together on the same instance.

You can take a look at the lemmymap: https://lemmymap.feddit.de/

Click on "instance 30d" or "growth" so that the size of the points is proportional to their users or growth.

What an absolute gigachad OP is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 years ago

This is honestly the most wholesome post

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Indeed!

I'm really enjoying the influx of new users and posts. I'm glad I stuck around even before Reddit banned all my decade+ old accounts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

i am little unhappy with Reddit's behaviors. Would it be more than a little for some of us ? ! 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago (2 children)

If its growing why dont i have any people joining my group? Is it because its that bad or something, or am I trying too hard :(((((

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

It might be people dont trust pandas like they used to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

Or maybe they suspect that its really just a figurative panda.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

Just guessing, but maybe "gaming news" functionally fits well within /c/gaming. So there is little reason for people to join your first /c/. The other I would not be able to write much about 'cause I do not know what that one is about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

I'm not active here in the slightest but this is truly great news. Hooray! 🎉

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

I'm new to lemmy and have been enjoying it so far, but the UI kinda sucks and isn't user friendly

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 years ago

Then try a different instance or host your own.

New to Lemmy! Can't seem to find any Star Wars or TTRPG communities—

It's all thanks to 4chan and their raids, God bless them. 🙏
