Hey, to anyone who uses both platforms, have y'all seen a huge uptick in Indian subreddits being recommended to y'all, irrespective of your nationality? It's something I had heard a lot happening on reddit, but I wanted to confirm

[-] cinoreus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.

That only sounds good until you realise this political exposure is also the reason children are going the andrew tate route. It's easier to influence children than it is to adults, and my point still stands, neither of these things must be shown to children without adult supervision atleast.

That's actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don't get Ice ads. I ain't American.

Is there any particular reason for this?

[-] cinoreus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah but what do you want the kids to interact with? There's a lot of sfw stuff like politics and hate speech I don't want kids to be near of.

Kids having unsupervised access to internet is just a bad idea in my opinion, no matter safe you try to make it.

Also the moderation issue someone pointed here.

I like the parental control idea of yours, because of this reason. Atleast it helps to certain degree.

So it's the thing with all big social media giants? Why it's surprising is because with 40-35k mau, lemmy feels like it's thriving, especially compared to reddit

[-] cinoreus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeaa, I misread the information. 1.2 is the total users. Real mau is 40k, 35k specifically for this month

One of the weirder information I found. The website seems to have quoted semrush here, so idk, but monthly unique users from America is more than America's population

Oh my god. Silksanity is now spreading to lemmy. /S

So I just simply compared the top posts of lemmy r/all and reddits r/all. Currently this month's top 5 r/all posts are somewhere between 228k - 142k upvotes, while lemmy's are between 2.2k and 1.7k.

The monthly active user count of reddit is over a billion, while that of lemmy is 1.2 million(edit: no it's 40k. It's looking even worse for reddit). If we just compare them by these metrics, reddit has 1000x the users but 100x engagement. And this also held true when I compared the meme subreddits using the same metric, but news subreddit was an outlier where the subscriber to upvote ratio was equal between them.

It's extremely crude calculation, but since I observed this pattern, I felt I need to share this somewhere. What I feel is that as social media platform gets larger, the number of lurkers, people who don't engage, increase. could there be any other reason?

[-] cinoreus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Also lemmy doesn't have the 'karma' system. There's literally no point to karma farm here. Like, it doesn't matter if my comments get downvoted to oblivion, it's not hurting my imaginary score that I have to maintain to interact in certain big subreddits.

Hey, I am curious, are people working on storing fediverse data off the servers? Like using bittorent protocol or ipfs?
