That’s a 2000% increase in 2 weeks! Congratulations all! I’m so proud of what we are building together here!
I fear a lot of this is bot accounts.
I belive > 50% are bot accounts, maybe more.
We’re just like the big commercial social media sites then. Sweet success!
Call the press 😆🍾🥳
Same applies to twitter, lmao
It’s almost 90%, check my post history
I was trying to figure out how you got those numbers, then I went to https://the-federation.info/platform/73, sorting by number of accounts vs. active accounts. I was astonished how some sites had 30k accounts and 3 active users. Kind of sad seeing the active user ratio going from over 1 in 6 (very active) to 1 in 30 (around where it was before) in the span of 5 days.
Bots and duplicate accounts on multiple instances. Wouldn’t be surprised if total users is 1/10th of this
And I see this post from my own instance. Did lemmy.ml changed something?
The posts just started pouring into my instance as well. I think they might of, which is wonderful news.
I noticed now that their backend has been updated to the latest RC 0.18 😱😱😱
EDIT: I still have some communities in pending status
That would explain it, and I see they pushed docker images for
0.18.0-rc6
. I might have to give it a spin on my instance, if they are running it must be pretty safe to use.Edit: As for pending status, if I go click the orange “Subscription pending” button then re-subscribe it joins instantly.
Edit2: larger communities take some time still but you can actively see the posts coming in.
I’ll wait for the final version anyway. I think is enough to pull down the new image and recreate the container I think, never did this before with Lemmy
I just upgraded, was fairly painless overall. Solid code coming from the devs, another good sign.
Those are largely bots, let’s not conflate them with actual users.
Don’t sell the bots short, they can probably sell you a pill that helps you conflate things.
