Lemmy probably limits those to posts and not comments, and expects comments to have pictures in the comment body

Indeed

We Distribute needs a lot of help in getting to a healthy place. We need help with writing, editing, social media direction, and A/V production. We also need assistance with securing funding through donations, partnerships, and grants, and need to finish the work in establishing We Distribute Media as a 501c3, which was work we initially started in the beginning of this year.

I think the observer shows daily and monthly stats for the active users per month and active users per half year so the active users per month wouldn’t change as fast I think.

Indeed, I was remembering it wrong, you might be right!

Also about it being a botfarm I do think that is a possibility. Actually there is much clearer evidence for it when you see extend the graph to 120 days and see a huge uptick in users and servers at the same time. Edit: 2024-7-29

Definitely

The Fediobserver has daily and monthly stats for active users. I assume daily indeed follow daily variations. You also saw those huge bumps when LW updated and started counting votes as activity

But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.

There’s only so many communities you can maintain active with 45k monthly active users

And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth.

Why do you think we don’t?

“We distribute” is a Fediverse website

Well…

• that’s how the website displayed the graph when I took that screenshot, I’m pretty sure you can’t modify the axis
• I’m not on my computer at the moment, editing is the most I can do right now
• if you can capture the graph with 0 on the Y axis, please post it below and I’ll update the picture

That’s my guess to

Sad to hear, hope they’re fine

There are still many topics that I would find interesting to discuss, but that nobody talks about here;

Which ones are those?

If you don’t like politics, block those communities

Otherwise

• !casualconversation@lemm.ee
• !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
• !movies@lemm.ee
• !foodporn@lemmy.world
• !photography@lemmy.ml

Which niches were they?

Some like !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz and !homeimprovement@lemmy.world are quite active

!newcommunities@lemmy.world has several threads with different active communities on different topics

Hello,

Are you aware you are replying to a year old comment?

Also, for less modern: https://old.lemmy.world/

Active users are daily too (you have day, week and month counters in the sidebar of all communities)

It should be there, it’s the second graph

But then people would still be able to easily instance switch. That’s not something that is possible for Twitter

Nice!

I captured the graph with the number after the decrease at the bottom right to try to show the number of lost users, but I see where you come from
