This will never be more than a below average Reddit clone. We are better off trying to change sites like Twitter and Reddit from within.

Spinoffs rarely work, it’s often much easier to change from within. Let’s do a GOP.

So since the mass-exodus from Reddit we can see that the total amount of active users has gone down rather heavily: https://i.imgur.com/MeQok2F.png

This can seem a bit sad at a first glance. Where are we heading? But one has to remember that back during the summer many of us created several accounts to settle at an instance, there were also problems with spam-bots of various kinds.

So active users in itself is actually not that interesting. At least not the comparison with the peak. Instead we can watch the total amount of posts, how is that looking?

Well it's steadily going up actually: https://i.imgur.com/i3Vse7Y.png

Though the increase has gone down slightly. This number however is influenced by other parameters as well. There are several reposts bots and such that mass-post to different instances. But it's definitley a good tell it's not going down.

Another interesting factor is comments: https://imgur.com/hWT8xvF

The amount of comments per month has gone down, but not by all that much. A 10% decrease from the top or so. What's interesting here is that the decline has plateaued, which could indicate that the userbase has settled and become somewhat consistent. This is great news.

All in all, it seems like Lemmy has settled into a rather comfortable spot, with a decent amount of users, posts and comments. That is very slightly decreasing. Ideally we'd like to see this trend reverse, and perhaps that might happen naturally with due time when things have settled even more. For Lemmy I'd reckon the growth will look a bit like this. Whenever Reddit does something horrific (and it will happen more), we'll see a mass-exodus with more users over here. Then it'll decrease for a bit, settle and hopefully we can rinse and repeat. Anyway - that's some irrelevant thoughts from me on the subject.

Just wanted to post these rather good statistics!

Fullständigt grön på detta område. Har blivit bättre på att laga mat i takt med att inflationen urholkat plånboken. Blivit sugen på att ge mig in i att baka bröd nu också!

Kommer inte handla om mångts kronor i besparing/förlust. Så mest för skojs skull.

Har ni några tips för någon som aldrig bakat förut? Hitta något recept lär ju inte vara så svårt, men små tips som kanske inte är självklara?

Vad för bröd bör man ge sig på? Bor själv, så kommer aldrig kunna äta upp allt samma dag. Därför bör det vara gott att frysa in. Är väl vanligtvis ett fan av lite ljusare bröd, baguetter, formfranska, frallor, rustikbröd osv.

How do you manage to stick it out long term with budgeting? I use YNAB in periods for my economy. And every such period, they usually last 3 months to 1,5 year or so, my economy is in amazing condition.

Then I forget about if for a while, sometimes I find it a bit cumbersome and lose track. Suddenly I stop using it, and at that point I start splurging on stuff I really shouldn’t.

So then I start budgeting again.. rinse and repeat. It’s a stupid cycle I’d like to get out of. Any tips and ideas, how do budget pros in here keep at it?

Någon annat som är i detta träsk? Älskar kaffe, men får alldeles för svårt med sömn om jag dricker de mängder jag önskar. Gillar även att kunna dricka kaffe efter lunch och vidare in på eftermiddagen.

Så har blivit som så att jag dricker koffeinfritt. Dessvärre inte helt billigt, och inte heller helt lätt och veta vad som är gott och inte.

Nuvarande favoriten är Zoegas decaf (under 0,3% koffein). Den är även lätt att köpa då den finns i många matvarubutiker. Men Nestle är ett företag jag gärna undviker. Har även testat Dallamyr Entcoffein, men den är lite för sur i smaken, och kostar lite mer.

Så är det någon som sitter på bra tips för gott och inte alltför dyrt koffeinfritt kaffe? Vilka är era favoriter?

What’s your top BIFL purchase, that might not in itself has been all to frugal, but long term, will be?

After having 5-6 different office chairs over the last 10 years, none of which I liked. I went and bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s ridiculously expensive, but I’m so pleased with it and hope to keep it for well over 15-20 years. If that actually succeed, I will have spent less money one chairs than if I hadn’t bought it.

What similar items (cheap or expensive) do you feel the same about?

It’s impossible to read the first word or two. Also makes it impossible to paste text into a reply. Happens when you post as well. iPhone 13 Pro.

Tänkte bara tipsa om denna fantastiska app! Enda iOS appen för Lemmy jag testat som har specifik sortering för communities. Stor anledning till att jag varit dålig på att gå in typ här, och på andra mindre communities har varit det.

Ren lathet egentligen men att man måste klicka sin in och byta sortering har räckt för att jag ska hålla mig till all. Nu när jag automatiskt får upp new när jag kliver in här gör att det sker mycket oftare.

Appen har mycket andra smidigt funktioner också! Spana in den. Vad har ni för favorit Lemmy appar, och varför?

This app is amazing. So many great features! I’m missing one thing though, some sort options are missing under “top”. Especially 6 hours is really necessary, as that’s basically the best sorting reminiscing of Reddits “hot” that’s available on Lemmy!

I love this app, it’s bloody awesome one problem though, I basically only browse Lemmy through “top 6 hours”. Hopefully these options can be added soon!

When scrolling the feed with compact mode on, thumbnails are loaded while posts are shown.

Some sort of lazy loading would be awesome here. So thumbnails would get preloaded before you actually scroll down, thus you’d never see the actual loading happen.

Would look and feel much smoother.
