Help retain users by discussing more than just politics

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 15 points 58 minutes ago (3 children)

For real we need more uplifting subs, my feed is just Musk and Trump diarrhea.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 10 points 56 minutes ago

be the change you want to see. Post and upvote.

I think this is an artifact of what's oddly the biggest weakness of the fediverse: decentralization.

When I used reddit back pre-api stuff, my front page was 100% niche subs I'd subscribed to, but those niches have trouble le growing here because there's so many instances.

I was super active in the scuba subreddit. Here on Lemmy, there's several scuba groups that tried to form, but none of them stuck because they were all on different instances instead of one central location where everyone could work together to make the community.

As a result, most of us haven't been filtering out 99% of Lemmy because the 1% where we'd be active doesn't exist. It's like joining reddit and having your frontpage be /r/all. It's a shitty experience that g9ves a lot of weight to political posts.

But you don't need to be on the same instance to contribute?

To the moon 🚀

[–] Ravenfreak@discuss.online 2 points 22 minutes ago

Let's go! I hope to see these numbers continue to go up as the days go on.

[–] imetators@lemm.ee 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy is more polished and populated now than before. Hope influx stays and we got all the real people from reddit and bots stay there.

Downloading an app instead of using the web gui helped me a lot, almost gave up on Lemmy couple days ago. But some of these apps are so well made. Really shows commitment

Reddit refugee here. Can I say Luigi?

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Can you say Luigi lol. Son, you're required to pledge allegiance to Luigi before every post you make here.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

And we love you for it❤️

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago

Yay!!! Let’s go :)

[–] F_OFF_Reddit@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah in a few days I'm going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

Don't close it. Get permabanned instead. Make those fuckers miserable.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago

Please keep it, it can be useful to promote Lemmy a bit, like we do on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Glad that you like it here!

Zoidberg voice: hooray im helping

I'll just say, the more I hang around Lemmy, the more I enjoy the genuine conversations. It feels like less snark, less joke replies, and just a generally more community-type feeling. Reminds me of when I first tried Reddit after leaving Digg way back when.

Hopefully, us exiles can leave the Reddit back at Reddit.

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 3 points 57 minutes ago

I like a lot of things here better than Reddit. For one thing, I don't see the stupid buzzwords like literally or cringe in 98% of all posts. There's no hivemind here...yet. And hopefully there won't be.

Also not the same 5 memes repeated for 15 years.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I feel the exact same, and I’ve been hanging around here for almost two years (the great 3rd party app exodus of ‘23).

This place feels more like a community filled with people versus a firehose of internet wrapped in layers of corporate and right wing BS.

Reddit was almost exclusively read-only for me. Here, I am commenting all the time.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 3 points 2 hours ago

This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

[–] Lexxly@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I find a bunch of snark here, but it absolutely feels more genuine. With reddit it felt like half the comments I saw were from bots. More than half, maybe.

[–] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I hate everyone on lemmy but at least I'm hating people

[–] Lucky13@lemmy.world 2 points 56 minutes ago

Aw. We hate you too.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world 23 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?

Monthly Average Users

as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

I'm in this picture and I like it!

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 60 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Woo! That's awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

We are already successful, I'm seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.
