I’m also curious about the country distribution on lemmy.

I'm a developer for an iOS Lemmy client. The distribution of our downloads by territory is as follows (sample size >18k):

  • 50.2% US
  • 9.9% Germany
  • 5.8% UK
  • 5.2% Canada
  • 3.5% Australia
  • 25.4% other

Biases:

  • It only counts users who are using that specific app, which:
    • Is only available on iOS, so Android users aren't counted. This could have a significant effect on the results because iOS has a much higher market share in the US than, say, Germany.
    • Could be ranked differently in App Store search results in different regions.
    • Only supported English, until very recently. Users who prefer a different language may have chosen an app that supports their language.
  • It includes users who downloaded the app but later stopped using Lemmy, which isn't ideal.

Back in 2023 lemmy.ca did a survey of their users, which you may find interesting.

Lemmy doesn’t support this natively, but many clients do. Off the top of my head:

  • Tesseract (desktop)
  • Voyager (web frontend designed for mobile. I believe you need to install the app rather than using the website to use keyword filters)
  • Mlem (iOS)
  • Arctic (iOS)
  • Thunder (Android & iOS)
  • Sync (Android; I’ve heard Sync is unmaintained though)

Assuming you're on desktop, Tesseract is probably your best bet. It might also be possible to get Voyager working. Some instances (like sh.itjust.works) run their own Tesseract instances (https://tesh.itjust.works/), but lemm.ee doesn't. You'd have to use some other Tesseract instance, specifically one that allows connecting to any Lemmy instance (https://tesh.itjust.works/ is for sh.itjust.works accounts only). E.g. https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

You caught me 😂 There was four in total, but I ate one before I thought to take a photo. That one was slightly burnt, anyways - turns out one corner of my oven is hotter than the other three :)

The change was merged in Dec 2023 (see here). The Reddit Exodus was in summer 2023.

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.

The cleaning cloth pictured is the one that comes with the particular brand of screen cleaner that Apple recommends using.
