According to fedidb.org, Lemmy has plateaued at around 43k active users over the past year.

If you ask me, though, it doesn’t matter. The Lemmy ecosystem is active and healthy.

I don’t know. I’m just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.

According to lemmyverse.net,

One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.

Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.

Yeah, actually. Of the top five four instances by MAU according to FediDB, lemmy.ml has 9% of the total user base.

I know there a pie charts that illustrate this point better, but I can’t find them right now.

Huh. I’ll do that later today then

There’s already an initiative to launch a third-party ATProto relay. Hopefully soon enough, we’ll be able to post on Bluesky without relying on Bluesky PBLLC’s infrastructure.

LGBT content on rednote is usually posted with #le and #wlw, as far as I heard.

lemmy.ml is not even a large instance compared to lemmy.world or lemm.ee

It’s still in closed beta. You can’t “just sign up.”

I’ve heard discussion of Pixelfed on both TikTok and RedNote, which is exciting! Hopefully it’s easy to use.

They recently added new translation features. I don’t think it’s going to happen.

What happens to my account if my PixelFed instance shuts down abruptly? Do I have to DM all my followers to follow my new account? Or is this already a solved problem with ActivityPub?

Obligatory: billionaires will not save us.

Oh wait sorry I misread your original comment.

Honestly, if you’re not a communist, the less you know the better.

Why would you tell others to block lemmy.ml from your lemmy.ml account?

There is still an active debate about whether Bridgy Fed should be opt-in or opt-out. As far as I can tell, however, they are working on implementing instance-level opt-in, meaning Gargon would have the ability to automatically enable bridging for mastodon.social users.

Trump fired Lina Kahn, so we know this is bullshit.

Every accusation of theirs is a confession.
