Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there’s a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I’m curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?
side note: I’m trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.
I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.
I think being added to join-lemmy definitely helps but people that are already on Lemmy aren’t going to that site so it definitely shows that we are growing (or at least replacing people at a decent rate)
Sounds like you have a good instance, congrats on the growth
And this is your only comment. Congrats on setting up an instance.
EDIT: Apparently my instance hasn’t been completely federated yet and I can’t see all the comments yet.
Thanks @TORFdot0 for the response.
Oh, we’ve been around for 1,5 years. Just never been big enough to get on the join-lemmy.org page.
Thanks though!
This is the only comment your instance knows about because of the way federation works. I can see his comment history goes back 1.7 years
Thanks. Good to know.
You might want to set up a federation account on your instance, and add it on https://lemmy-federate.com/ for easy federation
That says my instance is not registered
You can register it. It will send you a dm on lemmy to validate. No password needed
I got logged in with my admin account. Looks to be a waiting process. So wait I shall do. Thank you for the help!
Ok. Thank you. I’m going to see into that when I get home
