I’m happy to see almost 50,000 users. Sometimes it feels like there’s ten of us.
I see a lot more, you need to expand you communities maybe ;)
I still really enjoy Discuit.
It’s nice.
Wait, why is Discuit being accounted for if they are not federated?
I think it’s just a comparison because during the Reddit Exodus people often suggested Discuit instead of Lemmy because ActivityPub is “too complicated”. So I guess this is a good demonstration that federation really is our best hope at replacing the big billionaire social media platforms.
As another point of reference vs Discuit’s 6,787 registered users, Lemmy has 1,904,195 registered users. Kbin has 66,175, and Mbin has 5,453 registered users.
Before this post I had never even heard of Discuit.
Same here. I heard a lot about lemmy when Reddit killed itself.
It’s regularly brought up on /r/RedditAlternatives when we suggest Lemmy
Ah. I haven’t been back to that place in quite some time. xD
Shout out to Piefed and its 75 monthly active users: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
PieFed represent! Highly recommended, the ‘Topics’ feature that aggregates multiple community is super valuable to me
It is a very neat feature indeed! I would use Piefed as a main if they had “Comments” view, but I guess it will come at some point
And a whopping… 3 servers?
Seems like a cool project though, along with sublinks. Might try them out once they are a bit more stable.
Piefed is quite stable as of now already, if you are curious
The beautiful thing about the Fediverse is that those 75 users are in an ecosystem with the 50k+ Lemmy/K/mbin users, along with users from Sublinks, Mastodon, Firefish, etc.
firefish is dead though. Sharkey is where people have moved to
Iceshrimp too
Huh, is there some drama I missed?
No. The dev just couldn’t handle it
Almost as many as there are in the colonial fleet in Battlestar Galactica. So does that mean we can expect that the colonial fleet had someone as prolific at shitposting as The_Picard_Maneuver? That’s encouraging to know if so
There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don’t check it frequently enough anymore to know if there’s a current Picard maneuver surrogate.
He made an account on another instance and he’s up to the same bullshit that got him banned in the first place, but these admins are friendly to it
Wait, did they do something bad? I thought they were just a prolific poster of memes.
Same here
Upon reread, I think they’re referring to a similarly prolific poster, not The_Picard_Maneuver.
This was a different person. They’d taken a username of someone popular in a number of communities on Reddit and were purporting to be that person.
Wait, I’m still confused. Is The_Picard_Maneuver impersonating a redditor, or was there a different user impersonating a Battlestar Galactica redditor?
Discuit is not a federated social platform, and we do not plan to support federation in the future either. This is because we do not believe that federated platforms, for a few specific reasons, have a chance of becoming mainstream social platforms one day.
