That’ll get you an hour or so depending on what instance you’re on. Your instance decides what you see on All and Hot. That’s why it is kind of important which instance you choose. If one gets too big, it controls what most people see.
According to the recent stats, there are millions of people here every day. That means you’re not seeing them.
More or less yes for me too. Hot is my default, then Active. I also toggle both between All and Subscribed.
I don’t come here to lose hours usually, but the above is plenty for me.
I only wish we had a good equivalent to /r/publicfreakout. I’m having to seek out protest videos elsewhere, and I refuse to go to reddit, and they don’t seem as prolific as they did in 2020.
I miss public freakout too. I miss the airplane videos of people being insane as well as the protest videos. Where are you finding protest videos away from reddit?
Some get posted to bluesky, though many require you to be logged in to see them. I also keep checking woke.net every few weeks, which was great during 2020, but I think it’s a zombie site now. Also youtube live, surprisingly, but you need to set your search parameters appropriately.
I have seen links to facebook and instagram, but I won’t use either of them if it makes me log in. Occasionally twitch also.
I know I’m ‘arguing’ a troll, and that the troll has been banned. Still, got to say something about this number chasing:
The population here is like a tiny slice of what it is on reddit, there’s no one here
In other words you can recognise individual posters here. And there’s a sense of belonging and community you won’t find in a faceless mob like Reddit. It’s comfy.
And yet people keep babbling about growth, growth, growth, as if it was the ultimate goal. Is it? A larger userbase has its pros and its cons.
(I also happen to remember Reddit before it was overgrown. Spoilers, it was a thousand times better.)
Treating it seriously, I think that people are interested in growth because:
if we aren’t growing, then due to attrition we are slowly dying
people seem to want a little bit more content, especially about niche topics that currently we have to keep going back to Reddit for bc that’s where it is at
solving the problems inhibiting growth may make us better overall and our experiences here more enjoyable not only for new people but the existing userbase as well - so here growth is the diagnostic indicator of deeper phenomena
So it is not to feed the advertising machine and stockholder valuation, but even with the profit factor removed there are others that remain.
As I mentioned (and you listed) growth has its pros, but the troll is basically going “growth good EDIT WOW THANKS FOR LE GOLD KIND STRANGER!”. And in Reddit’s case (relevant because the troll is comparing both platforms), if anything the excessive growth already led to problems.
Lolz “gold”, that takes me back. Also AL1 CAPES SETNENCES R AWLAYS TEH BESTE W4Y TOO CONMUMICATE EVERAH PIONT (and if I spelled everyanything correctly there, then I did something wrong!😋)
I already forgot what the troll said, intentionally as it is irrelevant 😉😋
You need to switch up how you view it. Go to

Those all caps you’re using are cruiser control. The ones used in Reddit are to show excitement. Get excited for the product, “wow” /s.
Derp. …it’s the sensible thing to do here, I know.
We have our own kind of fun don’t we?:-D
Agreed, as you can expect.
