PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?
-
The political stuff is leaking into any other community though. I've already blocked every politics specific and news specific community and a handful other communities and I still get a lot of that. I'm also blocking a few keywords as well, this stuff just gets through regardless of what you do and in no small amount either.

My script may or may not have picked up the data correctly. I thought I had it working but during writing down the data I noticed that the new 196 blahaj community wasn't showing up in communities from this month and was categorised as 2023.06. After tinkering with the script a bit and rerunning the script it's now correctly categorised as from this month but who knows if there are any other errors. And due to writing this down manually I could have made some mistakes myself too.
New communities by month:
2025.01 - 313
2024.12 - 267
2024.11 - 311
2024.10 - 264
2024.09 - 249
2024.08 - 321
2024.07 - 344
2024.06 - 411
2024.05 - 449
2024.04 - 484
2024.03 - 704
2024.02 - 500

Oh wow, thanks for putting it into perspective! Those are very interesting stats:)
(Also lol, apparently not that many more communities are being created)

My script had batch processing of the data with the batch sizes being set to 200. With that the result of communities for this month I was getting was 125. After setting the batch size to 1 making it process each community separately it changed to 313 so who knows if there are any other problems with the script.

Maybe you could try banning words like "elon" or "trump" if you feel overwhelmed. Some apps have this feature
-
Lemmy once had a massive influx of new users, a lot left again and monthly active users has remained somewhat constant for a long time now. Let's wait and see how many people actually stay on PixelFed.
-
I think it was more that he wanted to open source the app but had built it while he was learning so it was pretty messy and he felt insecure about it. So he rebuilt the app from scratch and open-sourced it. It just isn't quite at feature parity to the old app yet. Pretty sure dark mode is coming in the next update though.
-
Need better flagship app tbh. Pixelix is better imo but its 5bucks on playstore and sideloading on my current main phone is a hassle
-
Gonna try that thanks!
-
There's an official app now.
-
The Discovery section definitely needs work, but the ability to follow hashtags offsets that somewhat. I’ve found loads of great photographers to follow off the back of following hashtags that I’m interested in.
-
The mood and anger here is starting to feel like Reddit recently and now I know why
-
Same problem with Mastodon tbh

As we've proven, actual leftists can't really create an echo chamber because we vehemently disagree with each other on everything.
-
Is there a way to peruse pixelfed feeds from Lemmy or Mastodon? Or do I have to make yet another account?
-

You can sign into Pixelfed with your mastodon account.
-
It’s like Reddit and you gotta filter out the bullshit. Adding Elon, Musk, Trump, and RFK to my block list improved my mental health quite a bit. Hopefully if it’s egregious enough it will slip through and I won’t be blind sided by some terrible thing they’re doing. That’s the only downside.
-
More users isn't necessarily good.
Every time there's an influx from whatever shit storm we retain about 20%.
-
oooh, yea that’s a good point
and, I mean, the app was in beta, sudden changes are to be expected
but still, I feel like the app was so much better before… its kinda frustrating
-
You can post from PixelFed into Lemmy but you won't see replies and that's too bad.
