I mean Bluesky had 1 million registered users in September 2023, and 3 million in February 2024. It clearly had a higher base level footprint than Lemmy has ever had.

When do you think Bluesky started? It was already a known place by many before the 2024 US election, and was founded by the ex-Twitter co-founder. The people behind it were several orders of magnitude more well known.

How are you noticing that you're specifically seeing less interaction from UK people?

Eh, its purpose was mostly to get Irving against Lumon.

Really? Not heard that take before. Which one? Burt and Irving?

Foundation is not considered a failure though, ironically.

This is a test post to fix the PieFed glitch. Rimu added hashtag functions but broke being able to look at any community without a post with a hashtag.

Piefed speaks to Lemmy instances, yes.

Well, no. But it's a lot. I can add stuff to it.

No. It was also down to holding them potentially viable for what their users post.

A forum about hamsters shut down.

Hi, sorry to butt in - I keep seeing this community pop up in recent posts. Lemm.ee, the instance this is hosted on is going to shut down at the end of the month. Just curious if you're aware.

Some of the comments there are so miserable lmao. No doubt from some of the people who moan about reddit.

There's definitely a huge aura of letting the enemy of good being perfect in how people view reddit-alternatives.

Sounds like you want something closer to a Discord than a Reddit-clone.

!television@piefed.social is recovering. Gaining about 15-20 subscribers a day. !obscuremusic@piefed.social about 5-10 a day.

It did, although they were only 6 episodes a season.

Another thing: Why don't creators of threads have the option to admin their own threads? It's their thread! It wouldn't be appropriate for discussion threads (for obvious reasons), but for interpersonal posts and questions, it makes perfect sense for the creator to be able to have control over what appears in the thread to keep it on topic and the trolls at bay.

How do you determine if a threads an interpersonal question and post as opposed to a general topic-related post?

This is more to do with most Lemmy users being shut-in nerds not inclined to sports tbh.

To be frank, in many cases communities were simply picked up by the wrong people who proceeded to not actively feed it with content. So they simply die.

Communities are tied to an instance. How many communities will die because lemm.ee is shutting down? There is a slightly mad rush to migrate communities already.

This is what the Piefed community migration system is designed to mitigate. It makes communities completely modular, allowing a community to move their entire posting history to another instance. As soon as it can pull subscribers automatically, it'll be as if nothing happened.
