Last post 4 days ago, that makes Lemmy look like a beehive

Thank you for your feedback! No need for a code, but knowing that sign ups are disabled is already a sign 😄

@irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com

There’s a good few more PDSes than I thought. There’s a few with open signups.

Any you would recommend?

Except being independent from the one company that hosts 99% of the network?

The person probably meant relays, which are not as popular

Top Provider User Share: bsky.social ≈ 99% → Score: 0/30
Top Provider Content Share: Nearly all content on bsky.social → Score: 0/30
Self-Hosting: Server: PDS hosting possible but very niche and poorly documented → Score: 4/20
Self-Hosting: Client: Mostly official client; some 3rd party → Score: 10/20

Total: 14/100

Interesting score

If the Lemmy devs implement a feature, all Lemmy instances can update and get that feature.

Based on what you are saying, the people behind atproto.africa have to implement their own alternative to the Bluesky appview (I guess because they can’t reuse Bluesky.social code?)

Good to hear!

The main difference is still that every work put into Bluesky.social can not be reused by other “servers”, unlike Lemmy

Good point!

if you block Lemmy.World then you lose half the users

35% (16k out of 46k MAU): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

Lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemmy.zip and any other instance run on the same software

Wafrn doesn’t run the same software as Bluesky.social

• https://bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky.social/post/3lp4jtxxomc2p

I was wrong in my read on things; the new relays are pulling the entire network. Definitely a different experiment at that point.

Mea culpa on misrepresenting.

deer.social

Isn’t this just a fork of the Bsky client?

Should BSky go login wall one day the same way Twitter does, then wafrn wouldn’t be an alternative

Interesting, thanks

I just had a quick look at a random Bsky account:

• https://bsky.app/profile/linuxfoundation.org
• https://app.wafrn.net/blog/@linuxfoundation.org

To see external users you need to be logged in. You can view their profile on their actual instance.

Is the login wall on purpose?

No, it’s not enough. We should be encouraging to have people posting more, not less.”

Host them on your instance, then.

I gave a very specific example to illustrate where Mastodon had become more relevant than Twitter. Again: it’s not about absolute numbers.

I just checked the first two pages of https://news.ycombinator.com/

No Twitter thread, no Mastodon thread. The closest links are blog posts from Medium or Substack, or personal blogs.

There is no particular community which is thriving.

https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

47 communities with more than 5k monthly active users.

It seems like that instead of focusing on the part where I am calling for more action, you decided to focus on what you perceive as criticism and you try to attack that as soon as possible.

I didn’t see a “call for more action” in that comment.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com are communities about acting to make the platform grow.

they are by and large still on Reddit. Can you at least agree to that?

Of course they are, the same way the vast majority of microblog users are still on Twitter compared to Mastodon. That doesn’t prevent communities to thrive, as stated above.

Maybe that will push people to other instances

I reply when I see absolutes such as “all communities on Lemmy are dead”, "all mods are bad ", “all communities are about politics”

It paints the platform in a bad light and it’s not accurate.

Don’t you think that is a little bit sad that all you can do is this mindless pontification?

Another example of absolute.

I help this platform grow by regularly posting and engaging with regular users.

Stop using absolute statements and I’ll stop replying.

There is no example of subreddit community that had successfully boycotted Reddit and transplanted here.

!fediverse@lemmy.world is much more active than /r/fediverse
