PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel? (lemmy.ml)

You can see it if you check https://fedidb.org/. Monthly active users have gone from just a hair under one million to somewhere around 1.4 million and still growing. How do we think this will go? How do we feel about this influx of new users? Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?

I feel like I didn't really recognize having different "platforms" like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a "first" impression with people.

More users isn't necessarily good.

Every time there's an influx from whatever shit storm we retain about 20%.

Need better flagship app tbh. Pixelix is better imo but its 5bucks on playstore and sideloading on my current main phone is a hassle :/

There's an official app now.

Tbh I feel a little queasy about the change of tone but thats how it goes with influx of people. Iโ€˜ll keep my strict anti tech bro stance and will rapidly block any bigots as I always have. People can of course say and do what they please here and Iโ€˜m not gonna stop them. But i also am not forced to listen to it. Thats very incompatible to the outside world so clash is inevitable imho.

Try #meme #memes

Most of them are political memes or simply are not funny

[โ€“] ekZepp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Try #funny, is not imgur, but at least no politic content.
