Yeah, we need more users. The fediverse/lemmy is stagnating in content because we don’t have enough people with niche interests. It’s mostly US-centered politics; we need more stuff from around the world. Fediverse/lemmy needs more users.
I like it the way it is, but fuck me right
Same. I migrated from reddit because reddit are miserable bastards. There’s still some humanity here
I mean, we could, but we lack the niche communities…
;)
Do we? Why do we need the niche communities?
Reddit didn’t start with them either. Neither did Digg.
Also, it was a joke about keenflame asking us to fuck them and that being a niche community.
Seriously though, the algorithm is a powerful mistress. Every time somebody leaves here to go visit a niche community that we’re lacking. They get a taste of that sweet algorithm again.
I managed to pretty much carve out all the algorithms in my social graph. Most of the stuff I’m seeing is from communities that I’ve curated. There is no doom scrolling on my feed. I really dearly love being able to consume, get the most important news and a couple of lols and then go about my day.
Fucking me is all but niche
XD Fair!
Unlimited growth is capitalist mindset. Stability and community are what we value here.
Yeah. And we don’t need to attract the MOST people, just the BEST people
You can’t ignore PieFed at this point anymore. I think the statistic is skewed without it.
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/stats
Piefied is at about 5k monthly users and rising, so that does help a bit. With that factored in the monthly users is probably about level over the last 2 years and comments are going up, although that could be the influence of bots as well.
Ah yes, 2023 the year lemmy went to shit.
