Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000
(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).
We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
Ive been here over a year and I still don't know wtf is going on. I don't know what aussie.zone is, I don't know what "local" is versus "all", I don't know what "all" includes and why it changes. I don't know how to find new subs except accidentally on "all", my brother wanted to drop Reddit and join Lemmy, I had no clue how I signed up.
But, after all that it's still better than Reddit.
Aussie.zone is the server that you created your account on, think of it like having a yahoo email address. Some people have Gmail, some have outlook or iCloud, some have their own private domain. It really doesn’t matter too much because everyone can talk to everyone else, generally. Local is just every community hosted on Aussie.zone. All is everyone else and every other community in every other server that Aussie.zone is federated to (hasn’t blocked). Discover ability is certainly a problem and I’ve been here for two years and haven’t figured that out except stumbling on new communities on all just like you. You’ve pretty much got a handle on it it seems, I would just suggest a good client like Voyager to make things more intuitive on touchscreens if that’s what you’re looking for.
List of communities is there:
https://lemmy.zip/communities
ofc this is Fedi so that's just a list; there is no the list
so decentralized, so Internet
Boon and bane
Take an instance that federates with almost everybody and "all" will show you everything available.
You had no idea what you were doing and somehow you still won
Hahahaha this is the best comment I ever read!
I think I'll post it to !fedimemes@feddit.uk
