MODERATORS
You can't ignore PieFed at this point anymore. I think the statistic is skewed without it.
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/stats
Piefied is at about 5k monthly users and rising, so that does help a bit. With that factored in the monthly users is probably about level over the last 2 years and comments are going up, although that could be the influence of bots as well.

Don't forget "conspiracist" : fluoridated because Russia wants to weaken our sperm
-
Clicks "All", "Top Six Hours"
- Sees impersonal biased news sources reporting how bad the world is
- Every post repetition of the one above it
-
Clicks "Comments"
- Scrolls for a while
- Finds one person talking about how good their day is or one topic they're passionate about
Also, consider switching to Piefed to be able to use the built-in keyword filter. I haven't seen US news since using it.
Along with the newcomers comm I'm thinking about making those as default comms that new people are subscribed to.
Gotta balance out the doom.

I blocked all the news channels, location channels (since they're 90% news anyways), and a few extra that kept getting bad news related comments or trollish crap, and the top feeds are usually pretty good. They don't change too much over a day, but at least it no longer feels like doomscrolling.
It's great that we can individually curate our feeds but what I think the person you replied to is highlighting is that the first impressions a new user may get is repetitive doomer content. That's the nature of sorting by all and our instance-based approach, but it's definitely an experience which may put new people off

This is fine. We don't need lemmy or the fediverse to take over completely immediately.
It's a good working prototype that's not a complete ghost town and that's good enough for now. It doesn't need to win everywhere immediately, it's fine if it's a working solution we can point to and new communities can be created if some people decide to and they won't exist in a complete vacuum.
Based on what I've seen, much of this could be from instances with redundant accounts shutting down.
In other words, a lot of folks can't sustain the burden of hosting an instance long term. That's fine, and expected.

@MattW03@lemmy.ca @fedimemes@feddit.uk
To which extent does this graph consider non-Lemmy users interacting with other non-Lemmy users through Lemmy communities as "active Lemmy users"?
I mean, I'm right now interacting with Lemmy using Sharkey. Similarly, I notice many Mastodon and Piefed users interacting with Lemmy communities. And that's where my question comes in: would all of us count as "Lemmy users" according to the methodology behind that graph?
And piefed/mbin/kbin ect...
Getting too big would attract the bots, corpos, and everything else that has ruined the internet. I'm fine with staying small.
