Block lemmy.ml if you don't like it
(Actually, is lemmy.world on too old of a version to have instance blocking? They're so far behind on updates)
on fediverse observer, you need to switch to daily stats not monthly stats, right now it says 53,225 MAU for March 13th as the latest datapoint
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
fedidb is probably doing something similar, just showing the average for the whole month, instead of the current day
Give us another big StarCraft 2 tournament at Blizzcon!
This is cool too, but I would like to offer an idea I've seen other communities do which is a specific day of the week for posting pictures. Like Pictures Tuesday or something.
I'm definitely happy I didn't open Lemmy until I got home from work today
This is one reason why I never use expanded card views and only used the condensed list views where I have to click a thumbnail to expand lol
Yeah we don't need more posts, we need more comments, and maybe more voters too
Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people
nucleative put 2 different ideas in their comment actually.
The first idea was moveable accounts, just transferring like Mastodon does, which still gives the instance admin a chance to decline or ban you.
The 2nd idea was the account working on all instances at any time by using public/private key encryption, this could cause issues with moderation.
I guess you could combine the ideas to require an explicit transfer, while still using the encryption keys to maintain ownership of old content in some way, maybe.
Lemmy's export/import settings isn't really that different from what Mastodon does, since you normally can't follow Lemmy users anyways, so there are no followers (or very few) to transfer.
This is another reason why when we tell Reddit users to use Lemmy, we should give them a link to a specific instance that is known to have a smooth and quick signup
Also SpeeDons has a Mastodon account now: @speedons.fr@bsky.brid.gy (via the bridge)

SpeeDons is a much bigger speedrun event than you might think, despite being French only, their previous event in March raised €2,066,663 (about $2,152,964) for Médecins du Monde.

Isn't that just linking a specific instance? You can link them directly to the community or the signup page, it's just as simple as Bluesky at that point, don't even tell them that other instances exist, don't even say the name "Lemmy"
