Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at !reddit@lemmy.world
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy’s growth, here is a recent thread from !asklemmy@lemmy.world :
Does this include people who don’t post or comment much?
Active means one vote, post or comment in the last month
I’m doing my part.
So not DNC bots/bot-like-humans then.
Definitely plenty of DNC stans here, but definitely not as ban-happy as Reddit was when it comes to having a different opinion.
I like Lemmy’s culture better. It isn’t perfect, and maybe someday I’ll create my own instance. And I can do that.
The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it
To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.
There’s a bit of an echo in some places.
That’s just human s though. The only way to fix that is force everyone and everything onto All.
It feels more condusive.
Welcome, now post some fresh me mes please. Also more cat photos
We just got ourselves some kittens… I gotta start posting some OC!
THE YEAR OF THE FEDIVERSE
every time spez opens his mouth a bunch of people go “hmm let me see if there’s something else”
I’m out of the loop. What dumb thing did he do now?
Paywalled subreddits and killing old.reddit.
There are a few threads on !reddit@lemmy.world
Old.reddit+res are keeping the website alive for me
They haven’t killed old.reddit (yet), just made it slightly worse.
Good to see.
I’m here after the reddit news. Was a little confusing at first.
By the way, what are “subreddits” called on lemmy? I can see they start with “c/“ instead of “r/“.
Welcome! Do you have any questions?
Thanks, and nope can’t think of any questions right now.
Alright, hope you’ll like it here!
The Lemmy equivalent to a Reddit subreddit is a community.
Thanks!
Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here. Two days old today, baaabbby!!
Doing my part tho! I’ve created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)
Welcome!
That is crazy. Nice work! :D
Thank you. Everyone is calling me a troll and saying things like, “Troll alert. Account is only 2 days old!”
But WTF? Are we supposed to wait after we create an account to start posting?
No. I created an account so I could START posting. lol
Welcome to the upgrade!
We need more work horses like you 💙
Thank you! But wow, the people in the c/poltics sub are convinced I am a “media manipulator” because my account is only a few days old and I have started communities. lol
People in political communities can be a bit opinionated. Hopefully it will fade away as your account will get older
Thank you!
Gotta control the narrative :P
Right?! lol
Noice, I’m surprised more people didn’t move over.
Active accounts is not active users. We shouldn’t lie to ourselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of active users is half of the active account number.
More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.
I think that’s a mistake, but also the point is that saying users when you mean accounts is lying to yourself. Users here have multiple accounts, I have 7.
Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.
Over 6 months and over a month, I think most users with multiple accounts use their accounts at least once to post, comment, or vote. So it wouldn’t surprise me if active users to active accounts was 1:2
You think that, on average, half of active users are alts…?
No. I think that there are enough users with multiple accounts including bots that it wouldn’t surprise me if the ratio of active users to active accounts is 1:2.
Alts or bots, maybe
Not saying it’s the bots… but it’s the bots, isn’t it?
This guy bots.
Hey congratulations you discovered a statistical anomaly.
It may be, but could you try making the same remark without sounding like a toxic asshole?
Didn’t sound like a toxic asshole to me. But I grew up in the rural midwest in the 90s. That just sounds like someone making a comment, from my culture.
But go on, policing everyone’s tone. I’m sure it’s great for diversity.
Congratulations you discovered pointless negativity
Congratulations you discovered framing
We’ve definitely noticed an increase in signups at lemmy.ca when that news was announced. Not all active users yet, but a lot of signups
Thanks for the insight!
Can’t wait for more research and development on Lemmy from the new users!
