Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

the problem with this place is it's not user-friendly. and the posts/comments are too nerdy/niche for most people. my lemmy frontpage is like 50% linux nonsense. ordinary people dont' know what linux is.

    Ive been here over a year and I still don't know wtf is going on. I don't know what aussie.zone is, I don't know what "local" is versus "all", I don't know what "all" includes and why it changes. I don't know how to find new subs except accidentally on "all", my brother wanted to drop Reddit and join Lemmy, I had no clue how I signed up.

    But, after all that it's still better than Reddit.

    Aussie.zone is the server that you created your account on, think of it like having a yahoo email address. Some people have Gmail, some have outlook or iCloud, some have their own private domain. It really doesn’t matter too much because everyone can talk to everyone else, generally. Local is just every community hosted on Aussie.zone. All is everyone else and every other community in every other server that Aussie.zone is federated to (hasn’t blocked). Discover ability is certainly a problem and I’ve been here for two years and haven’t figured that out except stumbling on new communities on all just like you. You’ve pretty much got a handle on it it seems, I would just suggest a good client like Voyager to make things more intuitive on touchscreens if that’s what you’re looking for.

    My problem is less the nerdy and niche stuff. Because there’s a lot of communities and you can subscribe to what you like.

    My problem is more how there’s a lot of debate lords, arseholes, and I’m the smartest in the world types.

    But I guess that’s the case on all social media. Really shits on what’s otherwise a nice experience here tho.
