Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?

For apps, Connect and Summit seem to be the best I've tried. Summit is closest to the app Slide that I used on the website that shall not be named.

Jerboa crashes on older servers so I haven't really been able to use it as Lemmy.world is a 17.X server because of the captcha removal "feature".

I breifly had that issue, but it seems to be resolved. Reading and posting from lemmy.world

What's crazy is this is only tracking comment traffic. The real unique traffic should be an order of magnitude higher, at least.

I still use Infinity for reddit from time to time. But these days I spent most of my online time with Jerboa. I had tried the offcial Reddit app and it's basically unusable on my phone.

For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm having trouble clicking on some of the links on Liftoff which I have no issues with on Jerboa but it's still early stages so keeping my options open.

I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like 'you aren't logged into X, login to comment' when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.

Plus one

This doesn't appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.

The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

I'm part of that, I quit Reddit and nuked all my content on the way out because they're not only forcing Apollo to close down, they tried to blackmail Apollo's developer. I used to be a premium subscriber too.

Gonna be super interesting to see this curve from 1st Jul...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow that's crazy! Curious to see what will happen on the 30th.

Wow that's a lot of comments, I've definitely contributed a lot to that

I'm a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User's stat being over run by bots.

Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it's users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.

For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin's total users and active users are almost identical.

The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I'm wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?

Not a fan of Lemmy's "new Reddit" type interface (posting from kbin), but I'm happy to see the Fediverse getting some traction regardless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not trying to stir shit, just genuinely curious what you have a problem with in Lemmy's UI? Seems fine to me so far.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As a desktop user, I hate all the negative space on the left and right of the screen. I wish it looked more like Old Reddit.
