[Lemmy active users] 28th of September was the only day with more monthly active Lemmy users than the previous one, probably thanks to the release of Boost for Lemmy (lemmy.fediverse.observer)

It looks like about 1000 new accounts were created/became active on that day.

I remember @[email protected] mentioning similar numbers, so that's probably this.

We should stabilize somewhere in 30,000 range for MAUs before the end of the year

That's what I foresee as well.

so we can have more sports fans and humanities types

Discoverability of those communities is probably the first issue to fix. I tried to address it a while back, maybe I should do another one of those posts: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/2410183

We changed the default view for new users on LW from "local" to "all" communities a few days ago.

Interesting, hopefully new joiners won't stumble directly upon communities that might push them away ha ha

Imagine joining thanks to Boost and the first thing you see is "boost? Ewww go away, use Foss"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't get me started on this, FOSS gatekeepers can really have a detrimental effect on the platform.

I love FOSS as much as the next guy, but if my cousin is asking me support for an Office issue, I'm not going to tell them to install LibreOffice.

Same. Using Linux and FOSS for over 20 years but that Boost announcement thread was toxic. We just started removing those comments and banning them from the community. Those people don't see those 1000 people that came here thanks to boost will now more than likely come across Linux and Foss related subjects anyway. No need to push it down their throats and push them back to reddit.

Honestly there are people doing this because they know it annoys people.

Ofcourse there were people calling me a "poweradmin" because of it, but I have thick skin 😁 And a large banhammer 😏
