Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead
Subscriber count is essentially a worthless metric on Lemmy, it’s overinflated because of dead accounts. The older an instance and it’s comms, the worse it is. .ml being the original most of it comms are old and way overinflated by dead accounts.
For example !linux@lemmy.ml has something like 55k subscribers, but the entire Threadiverse only has ~50k monthly active accounts.
MAUs is a much better metric to go by, and by that standard there are only 2 main comms that haven’t been dethroned by a non-.ml alternative yet !linux@lemmy.ml and !privacy@lemmy.ml
But !linux@programming.dev is getting there!
oh are we the threadiverse?
Yea, the Threadiverse refers to all of the federated “Reddit-like” link aggregation social media, so it includes Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed and Sublinks (if it ever comes out)
Fully agree. I sorted lemmy.ml communities by MAU and listed a few from the top
Oh man, check it out with all the instances on if you want a little smile, .ml comms have fallen hard lol. Memes used to hover around rank 13, now it’s like 30 lmao
