It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

Total users are huge now.
There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.
First fediverse site I encountered was moving train radio, a podcast that cited Israeli war crimes in every horrific detail for hours.
It should be played in every church service in North America every week.
Hoping it's true, generally when I see posts about how strong and successful something is, it hits like a warning sign that it's struggling / at risk and someone is trying to project growth for attraction / retention.
I assume I'm not the only one with this kind of mental filter. Maybe there's a way to go about it that would get the impression across without ringing that alarm?
Maybe a show don't tell kind of tact? Like "check out all this new content being generated by the influx of users"... or a backhanded thing like "here's how to protect your insrance against recent traffic surges"?
Idk I'm no expert. Hope it's helpful but otherwise just ignore me~
Idk man, you're kinda right but also like what do we need cheerleaders for. Im gonna show this people and they're gonna sign up because lemmy is growing or something?
Idk just useless information as far as i can tell, theres no ceo of the fediverse trying to maximize growth or whatever so who is this for?
I am the CEO of the fediverse but I'm struggling. If you send $7 to my account, I will reimburse you $2m when we succeed. My scam coin wallet address is "0", please reply quickly... I can not hold long
I wish there was a website that had like three major aggregators instead of just the one. The issue I come across is these sites all have something missing. For the fediverse observer, they sometimes do retro activity that doesn't pop up until you look at the graph again.
What I can tell you anecdotally is i am seeing a lot more engagement with content faces are sticking around last couple of months. So I pulled the numbers from the aggregator that I know at least lets you audit the numbers. But its still not perfect.
I found Lemmy through grapheneos! That's my story. Love it.
If I hadn't smashed my iPhone in a work related accident I would never know the joy of ditching reddit and joining you folks.
Hazzah for happenstance! Life is great!
Newbie checking in. Hi.
Me too! And not a bot! Woohoo!
And not a bot!
Wonderful! We love human flesh around here!
EDIT: Ok, I'm reading that back and I see how it sounds. Just editing to say we are not cannibals.
EDIT 2: Ok, I know that denying that we are cannibals makes it look even more like we are cannibals, but I promise you we are not
You have been added to the best of Lemmy https://sh.itjust.works/post/67282965
Oh shit. Wait, no. It was just a joke. I don't wanna be "cannibal man". Damn... senior year will be really hard for me, won't it? No one will want to sit next to me in the cafeteria. Some kid will be like "I hear he packs his own lunch" and everyone will gasp.
It's okay Seth, calm down. Being known as "cannibal man" is way better than being known as "fart man" like Pat in homeroom.
I'm only here because I got IP banned from Reddit for asking when they're going to launch Margery Taylor Greene into the sun.
I'm here for the awful post of "when are the guillotines coming?" In reference to the largest child sex trafficking ring ever that's being defended by the US gov.
The people reddit is banning is really just sending us their best people. Welcome.
Was it also in/r/politics and were you "promoting violence"?
Exactly.
Fuckin cowards.
Especially considering what they allowed when I joined in 2012.
Is there anyway to compare bots to real users?
Piefed auto-flags users it it thinks is bots and allows users to flag other users as potential AI bots. Its an interesting system. I like it so far but its on a system with less than 10k users. So not sure how the scale is going to work. Still its a step!
Continuing, growing and stronging.
Moisturizing. Focusing. Inourlaneing. Flourishing.
Enlonging, embiggening, and stronging.
