Wistful

So all 3 people on the whole bluesky who even know they can do that or give any fuck about mastodon.

So you can't interact at all, or see bluesky comments or anything. It's basically as if you subscribed to an RSS feed. Pretty useless no?

Never really understood the appeal of twitter-like platforms anyway.

They allegedly remove posts/comments about lemmy? And even if they don't, I feel like it could have the opposite effect. People would see those posts just like ads/promotion/spam. Which would give lemmy a bad rep. Unless something big happens, like some big community switching to lemmy, or someone with a big following promotes lemmy, it will hardly see a big spike in user count.

The only way is to passively "advertise" it. Maybe add the link to your lemmy account in your reddits about you section, if you are making OC add your lemmy handle there as well...

And the last way, which is most likely the best way to do it, is to post good content on lemmy, keep communities alive. And people will eventually join.

There is a script that can do that if you are comfortable using that: https://github.com/howdy-tsc/LemmyTools
It only works on the lemmy's own webui. From what I can tell, Alexandrite doesn't have such feature.

That's an awesome shot. Thanks for sharing.

I had that happen to me when I tried playing MDK recently :D

FeedMe works as well.

What is even the point of "piracy groups"? What exactly can you find there that you cannot in other places designed for that, e.g., trackers, usenet, forums...?

But shows different numbers.

I can find it on Droidify no problem and after reading your comment, I also tried on F-droid app and I can see it there as well. Maybe you don't have it configured properly.

Seems like it.

So lemmy.world is still excluded from the list but the active users from it are counted in?
