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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

Edit3: The larger communities require a second unsubscribe/subscribe, but all my lemmy.ml communities are now synced! Great news.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just upgraded, was fairly painless overall. Solid code coming from the devs, another good sign.

Kinda crazy that one of the biggest lemmy instances out there is just rolling with a releases candidate. That said...the issues that 0.18.0 is supposed to address are substantial so getting it rolled out ASAP is a priority and we're still in the phase where if it breaks something, people are pretty okay with it.

Do we have a timeline on the 0.18.0 full drop?

Those are largely bots, let's not conflate them with actual users.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't sell the bots short, they can probably sell you a pill that helps you conflate things.
