Something to keep in mind is these are the public numbers. The actual numbers may be significantly worse.

Sorry you ran into those issues and the rude person.

I think new accounts have some restrictions for the first 3(?) days. My understanding is that this was implemented to try to counter an annoying person who keeps making accounts doing shitty things and then deleting that account and making a new one.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to add multiple images to a post, but I've never done it.

For the new content, you may want to try switching your view to "New" or if it's your first time looking at piefed during the day "Top (x)" [x being how long since you last opened at Piefed]. Those methods usually bring me a bunch of new content.

Hope your experience gets better :)

Edit: It didn't occur to me earlier, but are you on "Subscribed" feed or "All" feed? If you aren't on all, I would suggest switching to that until you have enough subscribed communities.

That's a good point. I'd be curious to see the average user's journey (# of usernames and instances) before they settle. Maybe someday someone will research and write an article about that.

Interesting little game. Would have been nice to have a pop up that explains what the items do/did beforehand, so I could plan better. I think there was a question mark on the top bar I'll need to hit next time, see if that tells me.

Haha. Yeah, its a bit much. The graphical view on fediverse-observer is quite nice. Not sure why the numbers don't match between the daily and monthly views though (perhaps something to investigate in the future).

I think its a combination of holidays and then political stuff that caused some migration from the reddit BuyEU and BuyCanadian subs to the fediverse.

My understanding is that Piefed is getting a much better reception with redditors than Lemmy, and that's why the significantly greater percent growth compared to the larger Lemmy community.

Thanks for the link.

If I decide to make this a weekly or monthly thing I think I'll try to incorporate another source.

Thanks for the catch (post fixed).

Thanks for catching that (edited post). Got sidetracked in the middle of making the post and forgot some pieces. Luckily people have been helpfully pointing them out, plus adding additional pieces.

Added the Threadiverse totals.

Agreed. I'm curious to see how big this new wave is going to be.

Caveat: I haven't purchase or used another e-reader since I bought my first one (Kobo) ~15 years ago.

My Kobo still works and the battery still lasts like a week or longer before needing a recharge.

I don't think I've run into a book file it can't read, but I mostly stick to epubs and PDFs.

I'm pretty sure it has an online store, if that's important.

For your requirements, I have no idea if a planner has been implemented in the last decade, but I would suspect Kobos can read Libby library books (not sure what they are though). I believe my ~15 year old Kobo has a sync feature, but I don't use it. So that's probably available as well. For easy on the eyes, I'm assuming brightness settings, which Kobo had and I used on occasion (they may have adaptive sensing now).

I recall Kobo used to be marked as the "open" platform, so unless something has significantly changed, Kobo shouldn't lock you in or charge you a subscription fee.

Best of luck. Hope you are able to find an e-reader that works for you.

Edit: Just found this website with a bunch of Kobos compared. It looks like some have Dropbox sync and "Dark Mode" (I assume for easier on the eyes).

Filtered out: Slam, slams, slammed.

Removes a lot of non-news "news" posts.

The audit covered every public-facing component of Mullvad’s online presence, including the website, the Tor-only Onion service, the rsync setup, and the internal content management system (CMS). Each of these elements was examined for common attack vectors, misconfigurations, or any signs of hidden data collection.

I believe checking the "internal content management system (CMS)" is what they are using to say there were no logs.

They linked a more detailed report in the article, but I didn't look at it. It may contain something different than my takeaway from the article.
