Reddit refugee here. Can I say Luigi?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Can you say Luigi lol. Son, you're required to pledge allegiance to Luigi before every post you make here.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Friend, you can say Luigi is a hero.

lemmy.world might have some rules against endorsing violence, but on most Lemmy instances, I can even tell you I hope all the healthcare CEOs are assassinated the same way. No corporate overlords to appease here!

Worth noting is that what counts as an "active user" has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an "active user" was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

Woo! That's awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

We are already successful, I'm seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

Maybe just maybe a link aggregator and discussion platform doesn’t need to make money. Maybe it can just be good and make the users happy.

The growth in 2025 has been staggering, ngl. And this is the kind of thing which converts from a trickle to a tsunami very quickly. It never happens with one shock. But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks. Reddit's desperate struggle for profitability practically ensures those will keep happening, so this is all inevitable at this point. The only thing that is uncertain is whether digg can recapture the fleeing masses who are not cognizant of the dangers of corporate vc-backed enshittification yet, like bluesky did to Twitter.

I think the proper term is enshittification sharts

The user growth we're seeomg could result in an overwhelming flood of users at anytime. Which is why people should consider supporting the lemmy devs and instance admins either financially or through contributions so that the lemmy software and infrastructure is ready to handle the growth.

Yeah. Reddit is currently enshitifying in overdrive. They used to just do dumb features nobody wants, but now they are actively harming the base. The entire Luigi over-moderation this is just bad, and it feels like they want the formerly leftist site to go full maga now. and even if I do have to use it, the website often tends to not function properly these days, with the site constantly reloading, or voting functions to be broken. This is the year of lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I figured the planned paywalling of content was going to be the last straw for me, but then they gave me a fucking warning for upvoting. I made a Lemmy account the same day. Fuck them.

The paywall shit is still planned for this year afaik so be prepared to see more of Reddit heading this way.

Yeah in a few days I'm going to delete my Reddit account, liking this place so far, you get news and genuine discussion.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Please keep it, it can be useful to promote Lemmy a bit, like we do on [email protected]

Glad that you like it here!

You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use "Thunder" and it works great.

Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.

MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?

Monthly Average Users

as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

Let's go! I hope to see these numbers continue to go up as the days go on.

To the moon 🚀

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Makes me happy to see it, a future for a platform that is not locked by a single large player. Instead, I can have my own profile that I actually own and do not “lend”.

It is really awesome here. Like the good ol internet days.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Absolutely. Feels like it's 2005 again, and you discover all kind of new places on the internet.
