It's an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.

It would be good if there was some kind of database and/or bot that holds details on any monitoring service each instance uses. I see that https://lemmy-status.org/ is linked in the side bar, but also there are instances self-hosted status pages or using general purpose status trackers.

For example:

• sh.itjust.works - none?
• lemmy.world: https://status.lemmy.world/ -> https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/ [Ext]
• beehaw.org: https://status.beehaw.org/ [SH]
• programming.dev: https://status.programming.dev/ -> (add pulsetic.com url here) [Ext]

Yup, I was the one who posted the ep8 discussion thread 😉

Yup, and with @notthebees' idea of taking photos as a backup you've got what you need.

Having a computer-based one that's the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

I know these are famous last words, but this doesn't sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know ~~kung-fu~~ coding.

Sounds awful. I hear that if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it, but how can you get to that point?

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you're downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like "I don't like this", "I disagree", "This is factually incorrect", "Spam", "Abusive language", etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

Did you read the post you're replying to?

the Israeli settlers who was arrested by the police, will be let go without a charge, as was the case of every single incident before

This is ridiculously petty from the devs, and does make me seriously wonder about Lemmy's future.

I'm the Worf kind. I suspect that for us non-USA types it's pretty one-sided.

You'd think more of the contestants would have watched the show before coming on. I suppose there is quite a lot of it nowadays.

I'm team Firefox, very happy here. There's a small amount of optional telemetry to disable to maximise your privacy, and it has the best plugins because there's a lot of choice and they're not purposely crippled.
