  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

  • If they're OK on corporate social media, there's not a lot of reason to switch here indeed

  • All the meta products, reddit, old fashioned forums… plenty of things. Discourse (pah) tik tok. Different but have way more users

    Aren't all of those US focused?

    I’m genuinely curious how they get so little traffic in this day and age against other methods. And yes, I know I’m asking on Lemmy, but I’m new here, and I still cannot fathom why they are so quiet

    Network effect. !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want to help spread the word

  • Still, what other UK "things" have more than 2500 monthly active users ?

  • Content jacking/reposting is a problem on Lemmy.

  • And because of how they are tied to the sourcecode, UNLIKE Hexbear and lemmygrad, there are extraordinary few instance admins that will go against that.

    Lemmy.cafe defederated just fine. The release announcements are made on the Lemmy blog too

  • Example

    • !schedule@lemmings.world used to be the way to schedule posts on Lemmy.
    • However, over time the experience wasn't always the best, and quite regularly users would have issue getting their posts out
    • Piefed now has an built-in scheduler feature, which makes it easier to manage

  • If you didn't understand what I said the first time, and now the second time, I don't see why we are continuing this conversation.

  • Just curious, why do people sometimes choose to post to a Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed community on a different instance?

  • On Lemmy, it will definitely affect interaction.

    Piefed has the consolidated comments view who can help with keeping all comments from a crosspost visible (for instance https://piefed.zip/post/181387 ), but Lemmy doesn't have that, so posting on the most active community will usually get more answers.

  • Like I did in making a petition to defederate hexbear from Discuss.Online, perhaps you would like to petition PieFed.social to defederate Lemmy.ml? Lemmy.World never will, and likely discuss.online and all the others too, because of the software considerations - although PieFed.World might? (it has not yet: I still see lemmy.ml communities listed on it) You would be a good person to list out the references and make a cogent argument for the need to do so? !piefed_meta@piefed.social might be the best place to send it.

    Chicken-and-egg problem

    • People don't want to defederate lemmy.ml due to large communities !privacy, !linux etc being hosted there
    • Those communities stay the most active on their topics

  • votes are hidden.

    After having discussed with a few people, Rimu agreed to drop the private voting. The system will switch to two votes button

    This provides better transparency than Lemmy, as users are now complaining about tool like lemvotes: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/48233901/19876557
