Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Effective reddit advertisement and discussion on r/degoogle, r/buyfromEU, and a Canadian subreddit (forgot the name) boosted piefed.social and piefed.ca primarily. I'd like to see more of this if people know viable subreddits, and help spread the load too across many servers. Currently piefed.social has about 50%+ of all piefed users. This is too much long-term.

I finally made the jump from lemmy to piefed last week, the apps I like have finally got their piefed support to a good place

Boost for lemmy. It isn't quite at feature parity with the piefed webui but I'm happy with the pace of progress

Is there an app that supports feeds?

[โ€“] rimu@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago

Coming soon!

Earlier it seemed like a surge in users of PieFed/Lemmy depended on Reddit fucking up somehow, this is the first time it appears to me as if it's mostly a question of getting the word out there. Pretty cool.

Time to print flyers I guess.

Yeah, I think the best kind of growth would be slow, steady growth, giving servers and resources time to adjust.

Well done @ek-hou-van-braai@piefed.social !

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ happy to help

Wondering if we should prioritize daily/weekly users as the main metric, so we can track if people are engaging or soon abandoning after signup.

[โ€“] rimu@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

That would be better. Although Lemmy and PieFed do include daily and weekly stats in their API those graphs are coming from https://fediverse.observer/ so it's not something we can change without getting involved in their code and submitting a PR.

Welcome to all the newcomers. May they stay here long enough to leave reddit!
