You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?

Monthly Average Users

as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

I wonder what the arc will look like this time.

I'm in this picture and I like it!

Woo! That's awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

We are already successful, I'm seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 10 hours ago (12 children)

To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use "Thunder" and it works great.

Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.

Worth noting is that what counts as an "active user" has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an "active user" was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

[–] Sudomeapizza@lemm.ee 27 points 9 hours ago

Huzzah, us lurkers now count towards the global stats!

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I think that change was done way back when. Do you have a reference for the algorithm change? I tried a quick search and came out empty.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

Probably in the 0.19.3 changelog. There was a bump when LW changed, and I don't think they've updated since

People are finally done with reddit's shit! Thank God and welcome

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 54 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Slow and steady wins the race. Also helps to not be shit. looking at reddit.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Also helps to not be shit.

Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 32 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It is really awesome here. Like the good ol internet days.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Agreed. I hope it doesn't become so popular that it turns to shit.

Eh. to some degree, enshittification is going to happen as more people come in, because more people = more shitty people. If we want to have the good niche communities that are IMO the only excellent thing about reddit, we'll have to put up with the fact that that also means a bunch of annoying people use the service.

At least Lemmy has far, far better tools for dealing with them.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

Our most precious features is you'll never have to. If a community turns to shit, they just get defederated. If you can't find a server that defederates them, you can host it yourself. Your groups will be smaller, and you'll lose something in the transition, but what you have is what you'll put up with.

The growth in 2025 has been staggering, ngl. And this is the kind of thing which converts from a trickle to a tsunami very quickly. It never happens with one shock. But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks. Reddit's desperate struggle for profitability practically ensures those will keep happening, so this is all inevitable at this point. The only thing that is uncertain is whether digg can recapture the fleeing masses who are not cognizant of the dangers of corporate vc-backed enshittification yet, like bluesky did to Twitter.

[–] deedan06_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah. Reddit is currently enshitifying in overdrive. They used to just do dumb features nobody wants, but now they are actively harming the base. The entire Luigi over-moderation this is just bad, and it feels like they want the formerly leftist site to go full maga now. and even if I do have to use it, the website often tends to not function properly these days, with the site constantly reloading, or voting functions to be broken. This is the year of lemmy.

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 15 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I figured the planned paywalling of content was going to be the last straw for me, but then they gave me a fucking warning for upvoting. I made a Lemmy account the same day. Fuck them.

The paywall shit is still planned for this year afaik so be prepared to see more of Reddit heading this way.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I got a warning for a comment. Ive been on reddit for almost 13 years and have never been warned before. It’s crazy. My beliefs and writing style haven’t changed. Reddit has.
