What is a visit over time? That sounds cumulative, but is it just the total visitors over 28 days divided by 28?

... honestly confused about how you can have one day spikes. edges are surprising enough, if you things go up by 5x and then go right back down I think there's a bug in the code. Did the spike go away on June 2nd and get removed from the sum?

It doesn't really matter, this isn't a race and all the federated clients... federate... it's just a strange graph.

Visualization of the current situation. In fact, I don't know if lemmy is more of a mouse or a rat, but it probably doesn't matter.

Mastodon also appears to be going through a Reddit migration wave.

Some significant growth for kbin recently. Let's keep it going and open more instances for more users!

A pleasant surprise, too. Lemmy is massive, but kbin seems to be gaining anyway, despite being in its infancy and lacking an app. I wonder if it's partially due to the fact signing up isn't so daunting for beginners. That was what got me here, and I have to say I'm really glad I reconsidered my initial choices

A Reddit mod that spearheaded Reddit migration first promoted Lemmy and then changed his promotion to kbin upon learning some questionable human rights issues with Lemmy. I’m only giving a synopsis of what they said and they had a large write up with links to a variety of sources that I did not look into. I’m just reporting what the mod spearheading this effort said.

what mod? i root for kbin

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

r/[deleted]; their redditmigration and other subs are all deleted too.

The Lemmy developer and Lemmy.ml owner, Dessalines, is a Marxist-Leninist who is banning anyone critical of China and Russia. I was banned because he denies the Xinjiang genocide is occurring and I questioned him. He’s been careful to remove any mention of his political views from the signup process. So my first discovery of the cult-like community he has cultivated was in a meta post where all the users were speaking about how amazing and democratic China is, and how the West is evil. I feel more people need to understand that they are fucking nutjobs in Lemmy.ml.

Yes, that was what the mod said changes their mind to have everyone switch to kbin.

I literally found out about kbin 2 days ago from a post on reddit. I only found out about the fediverse 2 days ago actually.

[–] danielton@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am on both, admittedly. Hard to say which one I prefer so far, but I really wish kbin had an iOS app. Lemmy has mlem, but I still have to use the site in a browser to do much of anything right now

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, Christian needs to make something for here. Apollo for kbin

Now that Kbin and Lemmy are federating again, the rising tide will lift all boats. It's really exciting to see all of this growth.

[–] Pisodeuorrior@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I hope this won't just fade away.

What I fear is that the big reddit subs will come online one after the other and prove right those who say "it's just the latest pointless protest and it will pass".

I don't think it will happen, but I can't deny I'm a bit afraid of it.

I'd rather see this grow tbh.

Is there a way to see how many posts / comments are posted on reddit as a plot? I remember seeing one where you can see the waves of that. I'm interested to see whether the blackout made a difference.
