I'd love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.

[-] deleted@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 0 points 2 years ago

I doubt it made a dent. 250k doesn't even register on the map of 100m active users.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

It does if those 250k are the ones submitting/creating content.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 0 points 2 years ago

Are they though? I didn't submit posts on reddit. Looking at the front page of lemmy it's missing a lot of the topics and subjects reddit posts about.

I'm not trying to be a downer, I think 250k is great and it's enough to make lemmy 100% replace reddit for me. But I don't think it dents reddit. I talked to my friends and they barely noticed anything except the blackout. I go on reddit all the same communities are still posting and commenting as normal. But saying that when I looked at reddit I realized how much garbage is posted there compared to lemmy.

They are probably confused about how to use an app that behaves like an ad carousel

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

I think having a link aggregator is going to be so great for the fediverse. It allows us to gather content from all over the internet and bring to to the often secluded fediverse.

It also means we can post links to fediverse discussions and draw people in.

So far, all the lemmy apps I've used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.

Looking forward to Sync, though!

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They’ve progressed very rapidly. Personally I don’t think we’re still in the “very buggy” era. I’m participating daily without major issues. There’s just a lot left to build.

[-] Toxinflora@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

wefwef was renamed voyager a few days ago

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

I'm going to keep calling it WefWef since I like that name more lol. Not a fan of the Voyager renaming.

Haven't reinstalled the app so that it is still called that on my phone.

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago

Probably wanted to keep with the space theme, given that it's the go-to for Apollo users right now. I think it's a neat little nod.

[-] dan80@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

!memmy@memmy.ml is great on iOS

[-] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 0 points 2 years ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !memmy@lemmy.ml

[-] julsiecoolsie@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Memmy is working very well

How would a Lemmy subreddit be useful? The only thing I could see would just be a pinned message regarding general guidance

[-] fidodo@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

Advice on what instances to join, coordination to move communities, technical advice for those communities to form instance, etc.

[-] AndresSanMar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I come from Reddit and that would be absolutely helpful, I'm still getting around how everything works.

[-] peril33@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Feel free to ask if you face any difficulties

[-] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Just need ma boi Sync.

[-] lohrun@fediverse.boo 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Should be interesting to see how the fediverse in general handles more traffic, as we’ve seen with kbin and lemmy over the last month or so there are certainly some growing pains

at least we are making the most of our new space here, we all seem to be building something fun here ghost

[-] jeff@federated.fun 0 points 2 years ago

@lohrun @snoopa lemmy's federation is buggy af and is causing excessive congestion from failed jobs

[-] lohrun@fediverse.boo 0 points 2 years ago

Federation in general seems to be pretty buggy, I’m running my own instance and I can see a ton of failed jobs happening in the logs. Seems like some of the issues are short comings of the ActivityPub protocol

[-] jeff@federated.fun 0 points 2 years ago

@lohrun they are shortcomings in lemmy's flavor of apub. activity pub is more akin to json than it is an actual social networking protocol.

[-] lohrun@fediverse.boo 0 points 2 years ago

@jeff@federated.fun i don’t know if there is much we can do about that though. I have read through the activity pub spec as I was considering writing a fediverse web app…I won’t disagree, it is glorified json. Unfortunately it’s the “standard” that has been loosely agreed upon. I might have the willpower to write a passion project FOSS fediverse web app but I know I couldn’t remotely begin architecting a new federation protocol as well.

[-] ManInTheMiddle@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

I don't think lemmy is still growing. I might be wrong but this graph https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
is trending down and i've seen a lot of smaller magazines/communities that haven't had any posts for 1-2weeks by now.
I try to help that problem at little but i doubt lemmy&kbin has >100k active users right now.

[-] trambe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think that's normal. People will try out Lemmy but if they notice that the communities they frequent doesn't have a lot of content they'll just leave back to reddit.

We can hope for organic growth but it'll take a long time (especially with how big reddit is)

[-] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They might be using some smoothing, because all lines are noise-free. and the last point might just be an artifact. It looks like a constant growth

[-] ManInTheMiddle@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

According to the graph it accounts for active users within the last 30 days. 30Days ago the reddit strike started and an influx of people started posting. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people haven't been here since. There was a lot of performance and other issues with lemmy&kbin at that time.

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

There is also always a flurry of people trying out accounts in multiple instances whenever there's a migration wave, so not only are we seeing people who dipped a toe in only to leave, or go back to Reddit, but we're seeing the effect of people understanding how the ecosystem works better and settling into a single active account.
