PieFed user surge continues! đ

PS. you can see the graph starting from Zero:
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=2000Credit to @squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi for pointing out how.
Even if the graph not starting at zero could be misleading, a spike doubling the number of active user is still impressive.
-
Itâs an actual good increase but not starting the graph at zero is misleading. It didnât go from zero to the moon, it got from 1.5k to 3.5k, which is more than double, but not as exponential as the graph shows.

Yea I said the same in my other post, here is the graph form zero

A day later and itâs still going up at the same rate!

I just signed up for lemmy (brand new here). Can someone help explain piefed? I looked it up and it seems it used the same protocalls? I downloaded voyager app to use Lemmy - do I need to do something else to use piefed? Iâm sort of confused, because a cursory search sounds like piefed works on voyager as well. . . If Iâm already on Lemmy, am I basically also on piefed, just a different instance?
Sorry, hopefully someone who is smarter can eli5?

Piefed is also a part of the Fediverse, and reads Lemmy instances. Lemmy.zip also has a Piefed server at http://piefed.zip.

Same protocol, yes, so they share all the same content. And a lot of apps originally built for Lemmy now work with PieFed too. Voyager is one of them so if you have an account on a PieFed server/instance you can just add that to Voyager.
When using a mobile app thereâs not much difference for the average person. But PieFed instances have a lot of mod and admin tools which will tend to improve the quality of the content and people you come across, if thatâs how the server admins want to make it. https://join.piefed.social/features

So essentially itâs just another instance? Do I need to create an account on a piefed instance to get the benefits of piefed vs Lemmy (which Iâm not sure what I would actually get different).

Ah, ok. This clears it up a bit. So itâs moreso about the communities that are hosted on a piefed instance - as they have better moderation tools.
Thanks!

Yes, you would
Currently Piefed has tools lemmy doesnât: emote reactions, flairs, hashtags, polls, events, scheduled posts, feeds

So we donât see posts from piefed in here?

No, you do. You are commenting on a piefed post to a piefed user.
You just donât get all the extra bits I mentioned

If by âdirect trafficâ you mean to send them there, then Iâd say we donât need that, and shouldnât want it. The whole reason federation works is because control is spread out. Giving one, or a few, instances control of most of the content and users is a horrible idea and begging for issues. Speaking of, if youâre on lemmy.world, you should consider spreading elsewhere. At least donât send new people there.
A small instance isnât going to grow past PieFed.social in 1 day, let alone an actually big instance like Lemmy.world. If an instance grows too big then we just stop suggesting it and pick a new instance to suggest.

People still direct people to Lemmy.world. A lot of people donât understand the benefits of federation still and want everyone on one instance. They wonât stop when an instance gets too large.

Well yeah but those arenât the people reading this thread

I donât know. I wouldnât be so sure. Itâs a good idea to spread the message anywhere.

Oh no⊠Some of that might be bots.

Bots sign up anyway. This is driven by effective advertisement on Reddit.
