Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted

Calculation for MAU changed so the old MAU and the new MAU cant really compared

old one used to include commenters and posters while the new one has that and also voters
both are missing people who dont do any of these three actions though

The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed

Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn't currently apart from blocking the communities

An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.

Closest thing is !mobiledev@programming.dev currently, I've just reached out to one of the iOSProgramming mods about if they want to set up here

For anybody interested, the monthly active users including voters is 131,150 (131k)

The one in the graph only takes into account people who have made a post or comment

Edit: The halfyear active users including voters is 253,166 (253k)

It looks like you were temp banned from the linux community for 3 days

The comment you made was transphobia which goes against the programming.dev code of conduct. I suggest reading the comment of the user who replied to you and learning how to respect people more

This comment

does not qualify as a "respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else"

Zoomed out graph including some months before the join wave

Users/month are relatively stable now at 33x users/month compared to pre join wave (users/month is people who have posted or commented)

Theres a new algorithm that should be coming in an update soon (I assume 0.19) called Scaled

This is basically the hot algorithm but takes into account the monthly active users of the community so communities with less monthly active users show up more and arent dominated by the meme communities

Would fix the issue you say there

Surprised I dont see programming.dev in the data, we definitely have at least 3 communities in the top 100 (programmer_humor, programming, linux)

The 2m there is extremely inflated to to bot sign up spam. Back when instances were getting set up in the reddit migration there was some people that started mass signing up accounts on instances with weak security. Fediverse observer doesnt care about any of that and just shows user accounts regardless of what happens on the instance

Fedidb has a much more accurate count at ~ 400k https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy since they exclude these bot spammed instances. They also have a monthly active user count (~ 38k) based on what instances report for that stat

Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances

The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users

Thanks for merging in some of my changes <3

Code block support should be great for posts coming from programming.dev and the active user change should help communities feel a bit more alive and be more accurate to actual activity

Yeah p.d admin here. I only found out about the event when someone in my instance made a comment referencing it when it was underway.

Getting contacts with admins of various instances ready to give them information as new events roll around is going to be key for growing participants. If people want I can set up a matrix chat for showing off and giving info for future lemmy events and then that can be centralized into there instead of needing to do separate dms.

Theres already an instance admin chat but would likely drown out the event posts since there's other topics discussed in there

Just created a community request post for it https://programming.dev/post/6295144

If anyone is interested upvote the request and if anyone wants to mod it let me know

Edit: community has been made at !code_review@programming.dev

Only ones left on the 0.18 versions are beehaw and blahaj

sh.itjust.works removed it locally for their instance hence why you dont see it. Hasnt been removed in the source instance though yet so instances that didnt remove it locally still have it

Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

(the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

• !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
• !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
• !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
• !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
• !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

• !chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
• !anime@ani.social - anime instance
• https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
• https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

I dont know what youre concerned about relating to it but

Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

One of the things about this community is theres no dedicated mods yet (both snowe and I are admins) so it hasnt been getting as much moderation on its posts unless the posts get reported

If someone wants to mod it let me know

I definitely think it should be more general topics and the people collecting could be handled by random which I can adapt to fit that (since it isnt being used in its current form) + language specific things in the language channels

Yeah both lemmy.world and us have the same alternate frontends at the same subdomains (apart from voyager in which they went for m for mobile and we did v for voyager)

Links for all four of them

• Photon (p.) - world | programming.dev
• Alexandrite (a.) - world | programming.dev
• Voyager (m. and v.) world | programming.dev
• Mlmym (old.) world | programming.dev

Update: we now have !ios_dev@programming.dev, temporarily managed by me until we get some mods for it

It hasnt been released yet, still working towards parity (but getting there soon)

The first instance using it will likely be sublinks.art and some other instances will be switching over from lemmy when it hits parity like programming.dev and literature.cafe

they start out easy and get harder as time goes on. Theyre intended for all levels due to that and theres two different difficulties per day (the harder one being unlocked when you do the easy one). Basically anyone can do day 1

Heres stats for how many people completed each day last year https://adventofcode.com/2022/stats

As more people use https://lemmy-federate.com more niche communities will show up in most large instances by default

Imo its the ideal solution since it populates the posts in the all feed for people who don't know about the site to still see

Its from the microblog side but leaking into lemmy a bit since they mass tag everything they find (which includes lemmy communities)

Note if you put the image link in the url bar of the post rather than the body it lets people see it while scrolling (url + title can be edited so you can edit it to do that still if you want)

Ive been working on a soft fork of lemmy called Pangora to prioritize development on different areas that the main lemmy codebase has been neglecting (such as mod tools). Gives a different option than the main lemmy codebase for supporting development and as redundancy for if anything goes wrong (although not production ready atm as its still getting mostly set up) !pangora@programming.dev

LemmyBB is just an alternate frontend. It is possible to not federate with any other instances though by turning federation off in the instance settings

There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban

• Posts would be deleted and then reposted (especially if the original post had a negative score)
• Conflicting information in some of the articles

A bunch of the users on programming.dev have accounts in smaller and personal instances rather than in p.d itself since they can host instances. You can see some of the logos in our area such as c++ and some of rust are missing

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.

The main question communities in the instance though are:
!no_stupid_questions@programming.dev
!ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
!cs_career_questions@programming.dev

Programming.Dev

Im going to be trying to set up a tech corner similar to what Programming.Dev did last year with the dark theme zone. Any groups who want to join on around the area feel free to reach out and we can do stuff like merge templates

One to one: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=378&amp;y=423&amp;zoom=27&amp;tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F1b2ba85c-98c7-4f5c-bb5e-47840aa24f1f&amp;tw=66&amp;tx=320&amp;ty=420&amp;ts=ONE_TO_ONE

• Matrix Space
• Discord Server

Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack

Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)

.ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers

The 118k is half year aka 6 months

The one around 35k is month

sublinks.org should have the icon for the project

Once it reaches parity next on the milestones is moderation features and then federation. All of the currently planned tasks are available for viewing on the github https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Im still heavily designing a bunch of the UI for sublinks that will eventually be used instead of the current demo (current one is just showing it has lemmy api compatibility) but if you want a very early sneak peek
