PieFed Users Surge!
-
eyyy, i’m one of those. long time mastodon user, but was always intimidated by lemmy, piefed seems a lot more friendly.
-
how so. 2000 to 3000 is a 50% increase. in a period of days. I mean its not like the numbers are not there and the rate of increase for the year before is like 1600 to 2000 so like 30%. for the whole year.
If you need to read the numbers to interpret a graph it is redundant and bad visulisation.

Where’s the increase coming from? Users changing from Lemmy or new users to the theadiverse? (I fucking hate that word)

TIL I read graphs badly.

This is the same data, but the graph that doesn’t start at zero is misleading.
The one bar looks twice as big, when it definitely isn’t.
Graphs that don’t start at zero can be useful, but it’s nice to have the option to choose.

can confirm

If you hate the term threadiverse I’d happily recommend fediverse!

I understand that but when I see a graph that does not start at zero I can take it into account. I get you though about best practice. Usually this type of thing I think is from software defaulting to it to avoid white space. At the extreme if you have something that is at a million and goes up to 1.1 million that can be a huge jump for a particular time span but if you started at zero it would just look like a straight line.

piefed.social’s server is coping fine but I recommend new people join any other instance. Look for one with a rocket or lightning icon - https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser
What do the rocket and lightning icons mean?

Threadiverse is a subset of the fediverse, though.

What do the rocket and lightning icons mean?
server speed
rocket - fast
lightning - medium -

Instance responsiveness compared to your location IIRC

Not the biggest fan either, but nobody has better alternative. Compared to Forumverse, Threadiverse is a bit better.
Also a few threads on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

You still can’t follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy or Piefed. The compatibility exists but is definitely not the same level than Mbin/Piefed/Lemmy
Both words describe different concepts.

tfw 99.6% uptime is only medium stability

It’s not a technical stability we’re talking about there - it’s more human. Number of admins with SSH access, whether there are donations coming in, if there are daily backups.
Sorry, all this is undocumented.

I’m guessing it’s because we fund our instances out of our own pockets, and donations don’t cover the entire cost? If you’re looking for future improvement ideas, I’d much rather that information be exposed directly, than the word “stability” which implies we have uptime issues

Anything less than 5 9’s of uptime indicates a lack of commitment.
Please do not ask about the uptime of my self hosted services.
