Unfortunately it’s mostly bot posts and people of all the same thought processes with nothing to add to any conversation.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Really? I've had the complete opposite experience. Every time I comment it seems that I'm interacting with actual people. And I've found the conversations to be a lot more wholesome in comparison to reddit. Maybe it's my selection of posts though...

Don't pressure yourself to become an active monthly user. Just take it easy. I came here to have a peace with me not constantly shitposting to gain karma.

Went to the website link looking for context and couldn't find it so I'll ask here. What is the significance of the blue Halfyear line?

[–] zeograd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Probably user active during the past 6 months (posting, commenting, ...) vs user active during the past month

It’s just a borderline misleading and useless user engagement metric.

Sorry, dumb question but what the heck does Active users Halfyear mean? They've been on for a half year and are still active?

[–] fiat_lux@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lot of accounts are interacting (voting, posting, etc.) on lemmy-visible activitypub services within a 6 month timespan, but most accounts are not active users interacting every month.

It's actually a very positive graph. Many of the new accounts would be spammers, bots, throwaway accounts, alts of banned users, users making account on multiple instances because of downtime, etc. So it's normal to see growth over longer spans of time that aren't completely reflected in monthly active user statistics.

The current plateau is probably for the best, it gives developers time to catch up somewhat with the last growth spurt. There will be other social media platform clusterfucks in the future that will kick off future growth spurts.

I am now an active user, lurking over

[–] librechad@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (27 children)

I think its because we aren't allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I've been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don't have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I'm too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren't seeing a lot of content.

Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.

meh. who am i, a fuckin executive? i don't care about graphs

frankly, it feels like lemmy has both grown and gotten worse - it attracted enough attention that there are now morons, bootlickers, corporate simps, and dickheads posting now, and upvoting each other's posts

I like that I can somewhat recognize usernames across all the lemmy post I comment in. Im not sure if anyone really notices me or recognizes my username and goes 'Oh hey its smokeydope again' but I do that for some other active lemmy users and it starts to feel like we are all acquaintances working together to make an interesting experience for eachother and not just competing for attention without adknowledging eachother.

I gotta be honest...I am hanging on by a threat. The communities that I was engaged with on Reddit before the Snoopacolypse were pretty niche. I wasn't there for r/funny or r/videos, etc. I found similar communities on Lemmy, but they have soooooo little activity. I have to modify my sort just to see content, as its so old. When there are posts, they typically get very little discussion.

I am on Lem.ee, and I have the hardest time posting anything from mobile. It looks like it fails, and if I sort by new, it isn't there and never shows up - HOWEVER, I start getting replies, so someone is seeing it somehow.

I detest what reddit did and is still doing - but Lemmy is not filling that void for me, and its frustrating.

This place, it's ... beautiful. I've joined the communities with the topics i'm interested in and the posts I see are only (mostly) what I asked for.

The average person is reasonably educated, capable of arguing a point in good faith. It's not you against the world or the world against you here, it's more like, did you consider it from this point of view. That's nice!

The trolls and corporations have gotten board and are going home. The people with 2 backup accounts have stopped using them because their primary choice stays up, online and stable.

We could use a little extra mod tools and discovery, but this is a nice laid back place to relax and catch up on some random subject matter or ask for a little help in between life and sleep.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm contributing because I'm a bit of a meme repository and I get a more positive reception here than I do on Reddit.

Lemmy is in a healthy state.

[–] Wijnie@feddit.nl 11 points 1 year ago

But what we forget is that not long ago Lemmy was very empty at least in my experience. So I left for some period, but when I came back July this year it was just completely changed. And it stayed this way, I don't need reddit anymore personally
