I feel more bored nowadays…
I think it’s because I enjoy it more and there’s no algorithm that will make me scroll through the already read messages? I may be wrong but that’s what I think.
yeah it probably has—I honestly like it thought. I sometimes check it and scroll for a bit but it has really helped with the content addition caused by Reddit. I do not go to reddit unless a google search on a technical problem leads me there (only because the archived content is usually where answers are found).
Good. Get off the internet and do anything else.x
Ahhhhh no I dont wanna touch grass.
The grass is lava.
(I’ve been procrastinating my writing project for like… months… probably a year… lol)

USA btw… ICE… 👀)

The mods are dicks and are pushing agendas to kill the normal things you love.
Maybe you should subscribe to different communities then. Or contact the admins to see if the mods can be replaced.
Im not sure a community will grow if we just isolate and echo chamber. Lol the mod and admins are in on it whether for ego power tripping or perhaps they are being paid controlling opposition idk 15 years ago I would not even have entertained that idea. Its probably just so they can commercialize and sell out like reddit.

How? Take a look at Reddit stock pancaking (well before Trumps economic fiasco) and it’s stagnation. There isn’t a guarantee of success with that model, what makes you think a federated one with multiple servers would fare better?
My word, that’s a take…
How much revenue do you think they make in ads? What was shithead ceo bonus for the enshitenfication? Capitalism doesn’t need to make sense just immediate profit for a few elite.
That the great thing about decentralization, you could start a new community on a different instance without those mods and admins.
And beg for donation like nsfw till you all annoy me enough to ghost? Lol ha im ahead of you.
Oh no! Not the totally normal things I love!
Settle down bibi.
Not me, but it’s important to remember that Lemmy doesn’t just feed you an algo. You have to actually post things.
My experience is the opposite actually. I do browse All on Lemmy though just to be able to surface interesting stuff.
Yeah instead of selectively subscribing like on Reddit the strategy here is to selectively block
I don’t really feel it, but I think that’s because I’m not on all the time. I’m often busy with real life, so I just come on when I have extra downtime. There’s definitely an ebb and flow. None of that matters to me though. I’m all in for the Fediverse 100%.
Ohh I actually thought I was the only one, it’s too quiet I kind of like quiet but maybe with time would fun like Reddit
The problem is that I’m enjoying it and want to consume more than is there.
I might actually start posting instead of just commenting. It’s horrible.
People started yelling at each other more than on all the stuff I blocked on reddit, so I only check it every couple weeks now. I check back bc if it ends up 100% negative I’ll delete it from my phone, but I still have hope ppl will be kinder
I post daily and have a fairly steady amount of up votes and comments. This time of year interaction dies down pretty noticeably. I used to think it was me and I was doing something wrong, but people are just doing spring stuff and not on here as much. They’ll be back. There’s a couple periods a year where it happens. It’s just more noticeable here since we have less people.
I noticed it too with the upvotes on my content. A few weeks ago my predictions when I hit a certain mark of upvotes were pretty accurate, but now the amount of upvotes in the first 12h dropped notably.
Your mention of spring sound like a plausible reasoning to me.
Gotta build the community. This is not a bot driven Russian/american Propaganda machine. Its humans. A lot like forums from ye olden days, which were far better.
Real humans aren’t posting click bait 2000 times a minute.
Lemmy has a growing bot/AI/Astroturfer problem, at least in the political subs. It’s going to be everywhere, the only thing holding it back from flooding lemmy full-force is there’s less traffic here so less to gain, but as the tech and technique gets easier, no place online will be isolated.
Real human posting live from the toilet once a day
Not sure just joined I like the speed more than reddit.
*quiet
I hereby invoke my “English is my 4th language” excuse…
(okay tbh it’s not really a good excuse, since I came to the US when I was very young…
But in my defence I hated Reading/Writing classes tho… had self-confidence issues and took years till I felt like I “know” the language… math was always my favorite…)
I have noticed a change. It seems to coincide with the lemmynsfw.com disappearing, but im not attributing it to that, oy the timing. I seem to recall another server disappearing around then.
Has there been a reduction in active users?
lemm.ee went
Same time or very close to?
Nah, .ee closed down mid last year. And most of its users moved to .zip or piefed.
Nsfw is gone? Can you tell me more? Did it just disappear? I noticed a lot less porn in my feed so I guess that explains that.
It went down a couple of weeks ago. It was weird to think of an Internet community without porn. Another instance got spun up a week or two later.
As for why, I don’t know.
Original admin went AWOL, other admin couldn’t access server. Second admin couldn’t get ahold of first admin, eventually server went down. Second admin started new NSFW instance.
Then they somehow got everything back (maybe original admin replied to messages), and so the old site went up again as an archive.
Interesting, thank you!
Fedinsfw.app
If I remember correctly, the instance owner vanished but left the instance running.
Secondary admins kept the place running until something happened to the instance itself. Something with the database that the admin didn’t have access to recover from.
I believe it was that secondary admin that spun up the new instance.
Sorry that’s vague but about to get ready for work.
