In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.
My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.
Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)
But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.
However… I’m just curious.
Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?
Edit: I will still post stuff. I’ll just post a lot less!
like ml is the same user base?
edit: or maybe hexbear?
Piefeds users don’t tend to be tankies or campists, and Piefed.social itself is defederated from Hexbear and Lemmygrad.
you missed my whole point.
lemmy instances cultivate their own user base. piefed is no different. so not as they said, “the same user base”.
Well currently Piefed is growing prominently from Lemmy users. Most of the audience are ‘ex-Lemmy’ users.
where else would they come from?
is piefed advertising on Reddit? maybe Facebook?
sarcasm btw, just thought I’d blatantly point it out because it seems you might need the help.
I couldn’t care less where users are coming from. Piefed users give me the ick because they try so damn hard to get users to join piefed. they are also some of the most blindly optimistic users I have ever interacted with. they remind me of “happy Christians”. you know the type; happy wife, 2.5 kids, live in a HOA white neighborhood, live-laugh-pray. it feels like a young cult right now and gives me a feeling that something just isn’t right.
I’ll stick with lemmy, thanks. I’ll take a flawed platform over one that insists it’s better.
I said “Piefed is growing prominently from Lemmy users” because you said:
“lemmy instances cultivate their own user base. piefed is no different. so not as they said, “the same user base”.”
It is pretty much the same userbase as Lemmy at the moment.
