Upgrade ongoing. They announced it yesterday

Guess they never heard about emails

Shout out to Piefed and its 75 monthly active users: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Traditions can be discriminatory

LW is already much more active than lemmy.ml (18k monthly active users vs 2.5k: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), so the system is working, people have left for a less politically biased instance

If there’s a community that only exists there, be the change you want to see: create it somewhere else and give it time to grow. You’re not the only one making this complaint about .ml, and you probably wont’ be the last.

Maybe we should open a thread on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about this

They are getting desperate

I wouldn't mind having maybe twice the population and activity we have right now.

We don't need millions, but 100k would be a nice community, with enough people to discuss more niche topics, and more creators posting their work.

Version 0.19 counts votes as active users.

Previous version only counted comments and posts

I was discussing with a mod in comments today, apparently they got "guarantees that old.reddit would stay"

Didn't want to ask if those were the same guarantees than for the 3rd party apps, but I agree with you indeed.

It has been a while that Nitter shut down. Still a pity, a few artists posted only there

Well, as always I'll recommend our small existing community !harrypotter@literature.cafe

Literature.cafe is a lovely instance, Gabe the admin is a very nice person.

Good luck with your instance, I'll probably visit
