The data

I took the data from the API explorer in https://api.fediverse.observer/ with this query:

query {  
  monthlystats {  
    date_checked  
    softwarename  
    total_posts  
    total_users  
    total_comments  
  }  
}

Then parsed the json with this https://jqlang.org/ filter:

jq '.data.monthlystats | map(select(.total_users > 0 and (.softwarename == "lemmy" or .softwarename == "mbin" or .softwarename == "kbin" or .softwarename == "piefed"))) | group_by(.date_checked) | map( {date_checked: .[0].date_checked, total_users: ([.[] | .total_users] | add), total_posts: ([.[] | .total_posts] | add), total_comments: ([.[] | .total_comments] | add)}) | map({date_checked, posts: .total_posts/.total_users, comments: .total_comments/.total_users}) | sort_by(.date_checked) | map([.date_checked, (.posts | tostring), (.comments | tostring)]) | .[] | @csv'

(As you see I filtered for the threadiverse. I also did the same with all software, I'll put the graph for that in comments)

Then did a good old' chart

What to think of it

I don't know. Users' activity is on the rise and I find it nice

Need to gain slighty more than we lose every year to stay healthy.

Why?

[-] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

because the alternative is to lose more than we gain each year because the option to "stay exactly the same" is statistically unlikely as it has a probability of around 0%.

Maybe its a question of organization. Perhaps we shouldn't have generic instances just instances around topics. That way niches can form without being too fractured and if said topic goes away it does not take several other coms with it.

One issue is I think Lemmy's UX means there's less friction with local communities than remote communities (not sure why) which is why usually the lemmy.world version of communities typically wins without a lot of effort to steer people

Moderation reports are currently not federated (well they are in PieFed, but not in Lemmy) - at some point that will be added, but for all this time after the Rexodus this has been true. This lack of federation has hindered the growth of the Threadiverse.

Lemmy v1.0 has suffered too much scope creep, this update is way late while PieFed runs circles around Lemmy

The amount of furry / anime content on the front page might be putting off some new users

[-] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

lemmy is basically NSFW because of this, yes. the amount of furry anime porn that reaches the front page is crazy.

i don't get why it being pushed, but I suppose it's just the userbase is very active and passionate about that stuff so it rises to the top.

I've been blocking communities and posters as they pop up. It works until someone spins up a new instance for it, but then you can just block that as well.

[-] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

yes, i can.

but it's problematic if I have to do that every day. It's almost a daily part of my use of lemmy.

I don't want to have to block stuff as a part of my daily use.

this is actually the reason I don't use tiktok or instagram. because my user experience was block block block, everytime I used it. And it never stopped shoveling the shit I didn't want to see into my face. and a lot of it was pornographic clickbait crap.

i liked it back when it was smaller, but around 2020/2021 both platforms decided to shove tits in my face non stop. and i wasn't on those platforms for tits. I was on there for my hobbies, but it kept pushing porn on me. so i stopped using it entirely. i still use youtube because youtube isn't constantly shoveling porno shit in my face.

that's kind of what lemmy feels like. except it's with furryies, linux, etc. even when I block stuff more of it keeps popping up. i want to see more generalist content related to general interests, not content from people who are fetishists.

i have been on lemmy over two years. my first 1.5 years i hardly ever had to block anything, because shit content i dont' like wasn't flooding my feed. when i first got here it was just a lot of general news/science/information and link aggregation about nerdy stuff, which i really liked and why i liked reddit. i know there was furry porn on reddit from it's inception, but I never had to see any of it unless i went looking for it specifically, like a lot of the fetish stuff on reddit.
