They are getting desperate

If there’s a community that only exists there, be the change you want to see: create it somewhere else and give it time to grow. You’re not the only one making this complaint about .ml, and you probably wont’ be the last.

Maybe we should open a thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about this

Upgrade ongoing. They announced it yesterday

Shout out to Piefed and its 75 monthly active users: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

It has been a while that Nitter shut down. Still a pity, a few artists posted only there

Guess they never heard about emails

Version 0.19 counts votes as active users.

Previous version only counted comments and posts

To be honest the issue is more about the power tripping than politics. Banning someone from the Arch Linux community because they disagree with you seems strange

Lemmy.zip name is really unfortunate

LW is already much more active than lemmy.ml (18k monthly active users vs 2.5k: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so the system is working, people have left for a less politically biased instance

Indeed, but this is more about admins banning users from the entire instance because they don't share the same political views.

I was discussing with a mod in comments today, apparently they got "guarantees that old.reddit would stay"

Didn't want to ask if those were the same guarantees than for the 3rd party apps, but I agree with you indeed.

I wouldn't mind having maybe twice the population and activity we have right now.

We don't need millions, but 100k would be a nice community, with enough people to discuss more niche topics, and more creators posting their work.

!linux@lemmy.world seems ok, I guess if any people move to it it will become even more active

!linux@programming.dev could probably be a nice one too if people want to avoid hypercentralization on LW

Well, as always I'll recommend our small existing community !harrypotter@literature.cafe

Literature.cafe is a lovely instance, Gabe the admin is a very nice person.

Good luck with your instance, I'll probably visit

Negative. It was usually quoted by ActivityPub skeptics who were looking for a centralized solutions, "easier to use".

I was never aware of the numbers, I'm surprised how much smaller it is.

Fdroid

!fdroid@lemmy.ml

Probably !android@lemdro.id can be an option

Post from 2 days ago on !meta@sopuli.xyz

It was two days ago and not yesterday

Linux: !linux@lemmy.ml

!linux@lemmy.world seems quite active, I guess if any people move to it it will become even more active.

!linux@programming.dev could probably be a nice one too if people want to avoid hypercentralization on LW

If you know any other, comment below and we can see which one we decide to select as "the one" to avoid fragmentation.

Curious to see if lemmynsfw.com has seen an increased in activity

More language diverse than Reddit, especially on language based instances. Shout out to the Germans who seem much more active than other languages (such as French or Spanish)

Thanks for sharing.

But investors then will be buying Reddit on a leap of faith, rather than old-fashioned discipline.

Hopefully they won't

Account created 15 minutes ago, 2 questions about wokism, I wouldn't engage too much

Hello,

A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml.

Are they? Most of the communities are rather on LW: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active

!collapse@lemmy.ml is moving to !collapse@lemm.ee

Is there any community you need that doesn't have a LW or another equivalent on another instance?

At least 3 communities thar are not "tech news, political propaganda and memes"

• !dataisbeautiful@mander.xyz
• !movies@lemm.ee
• !casualconversation@lemm.ee

Feel free to contribute there, I guess it's easier to criticize than build something

Seems like there is actually an explanation

::: spoiler spoiler

Mods, and people posting too. At least Facebook and Twitter have network effects of people you know or want to follow. Reddit doesn't even have that.

It is the most discussed topic on https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/

Also, be aware than admins have shadowbanned some instance domain names, and that moderators can ban you for "promotion" if you talk too much about Lemmy instances (been there, done that)

Feel free to upvote this issue on Github: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Thank you for this post!

Privacy: !privacy@lemmy.ml

!privacyguides@lemmy.one is a good one. The instance admin comes and go, but the instance is still up-to-date

Other active options:

• !privacy@lemmy.ca
• !privacy@lemmy.world

Pigeon lobby getting stronger every year

They defederated LW and SJW, so probably around 30 to 40% of Lemmy

"It's like email. You can have an account on Gmail and still send emails to Outlook".

Edit: just saw that you mentioned email, so that's usually the easiest analogy.

About success stories, I don't have many, people I know IRL weren't interested in Reddit, so Lemmy is the same.

Reddit is arbitrary.

Welcome here. People might be arbitrary too, but their power is limited.

I did, because other people complained in another comment that it was confusing to not have the older thread on the left.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious which one is which one

The built-in search function works quite well I would say

Edit: missed that your already mentioned it, I guess the lemmy.ml link might still be useful
