I’m happy to see almost 50,000 users. Sometimes it feels like there’s ten of us.

MODERATORS
I've been enjoying that fact lately, it's been nice to have actual conversations with people, to actually have my thoughts challenged in healthy ways and to have my mind change and to change the minds of others without the intensity that predominates a lot of other sites. I feel I can talk to people here
I think it's because people trend a lot older on Lemmy than Reddit. I imagine a lot of the more vile opinions you see on Reddit are teenagers. I've not seen much unhealthy discussion/ad hominen on Lemmy yet.
Also makes it easier to keep track of the bigots and idiots
Tbh I want this to be 500k users and no more. That would be enough for most of my interests.
Unless only 5 of those 500k users participate in your interests...
Are you saying I just made 5 new best friends??

Shout out to Piefed and its 75 monthly active users: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
The beautiful thing about the Fediverse is that those 75 users are in an ecosystem with the 50k+ Lemmy/K/mbin users, along with users from Sublinks, Mastodon, Firefish, etc.
Firefox?

PieFed represent! Highly recommended, the 'Topics' feature that aggregates multiple community is super valuable to me
It is a very neat feature indeed! I would use Piefed as a main if they had "Comments" view, but I guess it will come at some point

Wait, why is Discuit being accounted for if they are not federated?
I think it's just a comparison because during the Reddit Exodus people often suggested Discuit instead of Lemmy because ActivityPub is "too complicated". So I guess this is a good demonstration that federation really is our best hope at replacing the big billionaire social media platforms.
As another point of reference vs Discuit's 6,787 registered users, Lemmy has 1,904,195 registered users. Kbin has 66,175, and Mbin has 5,453 registered users.
Before this post I had never even heard of Discuit.
Same here. I heard a lot about lemmy when Reddit killed itself.
It's regularly brought up on /r/RedditAlternatives when we suggest Lemmy

That's indeed the reasoning, thank you for phrasing it
I wonder how many of those registered members are active? Maybe 38?
Last time I saw something, I think it was about 300.
Almost as many as there are in the colonial fleet in Battlestar Galactica. So does that mean we can expect that the colonial fleet had someone as prolific at shitposting as The_Picard_Maneuver? That's encouraging to know if so
There was, back when I was active there. Around the time I migrated to Lemmy there was some drama and I believe that user was suspended. I don't check it frequently enough anymore to know if there's a current Picard maneuver surrogate.

Does Discuit use ActivityPub?
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.
Squabbles, later Squabblr, is also an* interesting casestudy in failure.
That's a shame, what a perfect name for every social media site
that guy def had same vibes as spez, so nice of him to show what a dumbass he was before he got anywhere
No they don't, nor will they according to their about page.
So what is its "unique vision" and how badly had it been co-opted by racists?
