MODERATORS
Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000
(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).
We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
Just joined eviltoast and using voyager. Loving the switch from reddit.
Not sure how you define strong but MAU has been dropping quite consistently for the past year or so.
r/Redditalternatives describes the various reasons that people decided to abandon Lemmy and go back to Reddit:
- lack of content
- too difficult to figure out how to use
- it's "the place that tankies built"
- too toxic, extremist leftists piling on anything not supporting their dogma hard enough (edit: here is an actual example), or sometimes just "too political"
- overall they do not feel welcomed. Tbf many on Reddit are centrists or even conservatives, and quite toxic themselves.
Notably, PieFed provides solutions to many of these e.g. the sign-up wizard that subscribes people to communities based on their indicated interests.

If lemmy implement passkey and show all the comments of the post like in piefed with ccp social credit shit. I will hope back to it
What’s with masto’s spontaneous drop in posts and contemporaneous rise in users about a month ago?
it must've been a big instance going offline (or switching platforms? or blocking the stats collection?)
also note a lot of those graphs don't start at 0, the Y axis is zoomed
