You mean something like on Matrix.org?

Relatively there are less US users here compared to Reddit ("only" 50%). Seems the whole demographics is different too.

Good point regarding the differences in content or user driven apps. Hadn't thought of that.

It would be good to have comparable info on trends numbers and such.

Edit : quick search for reddit analysis I can't verify the legitimacy of this page.

But it states that in 2025 they had 116 million unique daily visitors, compared to 1360 million monthly users. That's i like a 1 to 12 ratio for daily & monthly users. This is just one contextual example(#E).

@gandalf-der-12te. Trying to interpret your post.

Do you have any comparable data, from other other apps? stuff like engagement %, daily, monthly users and such?

Also also we we could aim for both more quality and quantity. Why not? Trashy people can always join Trashy instance, or whoever and whenever. That's imo what's Lemmy is all about. A hook in every nook?

Tnx, I wasn't aware of this context.

Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste

I don't really understand this recurring theme in this context, Can someone explain to me why this is relevant?

Afaik, this isn't a discussion in my country, since most people (should) know that already. This article triggered me, beacuse I want to lower my personal energy usage. Many companies in Europe who were energy wasteful and high energy users (like some chemical, steel, or aluminium plants) needed to close after the Russian invasion in 2022 and the then extreem high energy prices. Those that survived, are still struggling to this day.

What was the source of that energy loss?

No idea tbh. I tried to figure it out myself first, then I had two electricians independently checking it.

And their conclusion was that they didn't know, and that the 5% was sort of normal. I even had my electricity meter recalibrated by the grid company. I was afraid somone was taping, but no.. It still could've been the electricity meter ( which was like only 10 yo, I looked up its specs and readings). Humidity, Magnetism and Radio signals might effect the readings, under circumstances. So to be" safe", I have now a newer smart electricicity meter.

I had my old house tested ( after I mostly had it all rewired), by various electricians for energy losses. And they claimed that there was always some unaccountable energy loss ( 5% iirc).

Even if it is, this pales in comparison to corporate energy use.

Yeah I agree, I later saw that the article focuses on households, which usually account for like 20% of a countries energy usage.

Honestly, I associated the articles headline and photo to energy losses in the Grid by keeping energy online. So Grid losses, and the application of smart grid functions will save way more then 5% of a ca 20% household energy usage. In this article they talk about a 4-5% overall country gain, for example

Anyone who can confirm if these figures are correct?

using smarttube. works fine 4 me
