MODERATORS
Yeah, we need more users. The fediverse/lemmy is stagnating in content because we don't have enough people with niche interests. It's mostly US-centered politics; we need more stuff from around the world. Fediverse/lemmy needs more users.
I like it the way it is, but fuck me right
Same. I migrated from reddit because reddit are miserable bastards. There's still some humanity here
The worst of the trolls seem to get bored and move on.
Most of the posts here have good intentions and the admins are trying to keep things good
Back in my day, we kept StickPage.com alive with a community of maybe 100 animators. We were happy and productive. 😁 Quality over quantity. Chin up!
Let's talk about the Overton window.
At some point in time, the major social platforms will fuck up - probably by way of AI - and end up in a collective scandal that gives people a bad taste in their mouthes.
At that point y'all better have your talking points, framing, concepts and schpiel at the ready, because it'll be another chance to adopt even more users. So let me stress a couple of things:
You win more bees with honey, you should be more concerned about peoples wellbeing than your own opinion and start collecting valuable, objective and giving accounts - be they international, but most preferably local - across the fediverse to share with new users.
AGAIN!! You being a toxic little shit will repell people. If you REALLY CARE about GETTING PEOPLE OFF OF PREDATORY CORPORATE PLATFORMS plz be mindful, kind, shower, groom, keep your inside humor to your inside group, learn some rhetoric to improve your communication skills and remember:
👏 you 👏 win 👏 more 👏 bees 👏 with 👏 honey
Being on your A-game does not mean Asshole-game. Plz do not stink up the place.
This certainly needs to be said and I know exactly what your talking about, but lets be real here. This is an online space, it's always gonna have that element to it.
I'm personally very excited to have more folks flow in from reddit tho.

Unlimited growth is capitalist mindset. Stability and community are what we value here.
The fediverse has been feeling really good lately. It's actually getting hard to scroll to the end of the frontpage.
Yeah. And we don't need to attract the MOST people, just the BEST people

Well, this is really going to tank our quarterly report. What do you think the shareholders are going to say?!
So much this^. No where else did have I gotten more thoughtful and well written responses to my few questions I have raised on askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de. It "only" has 3.88k subscribers but those who are there are really cool. ~Wish I could be of more help there as well.~ In times where most of search results on the web are AI generated it really is worth a lot. Wouldn't want it any other way and think that having more might actually be counter productive.

Probably because >50% of the posts on here are about depressing American politics
Or “windows sucks, yay linux!“
Star Trek too!
Well I don't apologize for that one.
Would never ask you to.
Well goddammit I've gotta post more now then don't I? Gimme a second to start the music...
Also another meme to add to the folder of memes made about me... I have a folder. This is such a weird feeling.
Tell your godfather I said that I do not know him but I love him and wish him nothing but the most aggressive (in however he wishes it) Pon Farr.
Start the music you say? Daring today, aren't we? [Full disclosure, everything I know about Star Trek comes from memes and the 12 or so TNG episodes I've seen]

This thread: "It's because of all the assholes! Why, nearly everybody I meet here is an asshole!"
I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes.
KEEP FIRING, ASSHOLES!
"This is a defamation, sir!"
Should aggregate number of Lemmy and Piefed users (and maybe Mbin, NodeBB too), and see if the graph looks very different then

It is what it is. I have no idea how to incite a new wave short of Reddit shitting itself in some way
I think what we can try to do is to create an active community.
In the old place, I recognized I really came for the comments. That's why I try to keep my threshold for commenting low and comment often.
Even if it's just to thank someone for a good comment or other low effort commenting, I like to think it helps.

Who is the real competitor? The people who are fed up with Reddit, where do they go to for discussions?
Bluesky?
I imagine most people just want a replacement website, and think it was just one bad CEO and not enshittification. That's why the Linux users and leftists; we've been on the losing side of network effects before.
Bluesky is a Twitter alternative. It really doesn't compare to Reddit.
Depends on your guidelines for competitors. Just discussion, discord, x, bluesky, Facebook, Mastodon, many suck it up and go back to Reddit.
last 2 years look pretty stable to me
