▲ 97 ▼ It's the gold rush over? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by QubaXR@lemmy.world to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 61 comments fedilink hide all child comments It's been a while since I last seen anyone posting graphs showing user base growth. Are we past the initial rush and bleeding numbers now?
[–] amju_wolf@pawb.social 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) Also because the number of subscriptions that one sees is only from their instance Huh is that actually a thing? That's kinda dumb, but explains the tiny numbers I've seen a few times. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] xapr@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Yeah, unfortunately that is a thing. Example: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/collapse@lemmy.ml (lemmy.sdf.org's local view of Collapse @ lemmy.ml) shows 22 subscribers. In effect, this is the number of people on lemmy.sdf.org who have subscribed to this remote community. https://lemmy.ml/c/collapse (the original/direct view of Collapse @ lemmy.ml) shows 2.11k subscribers. I don't know whether this number shows only subscribers from lemmy.ml or an aggregate of all subscribers across the fediverse. Unfortunately, another issue even if the count on the direct link to the community is an aggregate, is that it's probably not counting people who are stuck in a "subscribe pending" state. A ton of the communities I subscribed to weeks ago still show in this state on my communities page. I understand that what this means is that I'm subscribed on my end so that everything works for me, but the original community hasn't acknowledged my subscription, so I expect that this means it also doesn't count me as a subscriber. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] amju_wolf@pawb.social 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Ahh interesting. Well, that's growing pains, and fairly minor ones I'd say. Let's hope it'll eventually get better. Also thanks for explaining "subscribe pending", I was wondering about that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xapr@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago For sure. The growing pains haven't been too bad for me either. I think that things will definitely get better with Lemmy. You're welcome. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world [B] 1 point 3 years ago Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !collapse@lemmy.ml permalink fedilink source parent [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 point 3 years ago That's why the best place to find which communities are most active currently is lemmyverse.net permalink fedilink source parent
