Drugs ftw!? :-D

In terms of number of users, rate of growth (in number of users, communities, instances, etc.), level of app support, appreciation from the Threadiverse community, and by all other metrics, yeah? Especially the sheer pace of development of PieFed, which is just a pleasure to observe such a labor of love.

Threaded conversations in Mbin appear more like an afterthought to the Twitter/X microblogging style - see e.g. its own level of app support. Also, the peak of Mbin (according to this site was 874 monthly active users in April 2024, but just one month later that had dropped to 563 and today is 719.

Though Mbin is still remembered - now as the Threadiverse = Lemmy + PieFed + Mbin (+ nodeBB + flarum, with Sublinks seemingly abandoned). There is room for us all here! :-) I will add that if Mbin ever wanted to actually get serious, it would be nice to see.

None

PieFed is also advertised often over in Reddit, like in r/RedditAlternatives.

There is a way to block a “Domain” - e.g. a URL to a Verge article. I’ve never done it but that is the terminology if you want to poke around to try it.

PieFed also allows custom CSS, although something kike this should probably be added into the base source code.

Lemmy’s user-level “instance block” does not block the instance though, i.e. it blocks neither users nor content from the instance, e.g. Lemmy still pings you if a user from that instance replies to your content in communities located on another instance. It would have been better named as a “community mute” instead, as all it blocks are the communities located on those instances (regardless of the origination of the post itself).

I only have 15 user accounts in my blocked list, although that is because PieFed allows blocking all users from an instance, so I have blocked all from lemmy.ml (and PieFed.social is already defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad).

Having to go through and block so many people individually was just far too much of a pain - I can see why people leave Lemmy over exactly this issue (and then complain about Lemmy over on Reddit for being somehow even more toxic than there - the trick is that once you get the blocklist right then the average interaction is better on the Threadiverse, though truthfully the maximally worst ones are also here as well, extremely unfortunately especially in terms of our growth or rather lack thereof).

PieFed and Mbin are both different implementations of the ActivityPub Protocol just like Lemmy. Although I doubt this graph includes either of them, despite how many left Lemmy for Piefed when Lemm.ee went down.

I looked and PieFed adds another ~1600 monthly active users and Mbin a further ~700 to the mix. PieFed starts out its chart with single digit user counts and ends with three orders of magnitude growth, so definitely not flat at all, though stable over the last few months.

No!

…yes, maybe? Ngl that toast does smell good right now…

… What doesn’t work?

Mam, this is a Wendy’s ADHD memes! /s

Oh, I had no idea what that was from. I just found it as a cool short video depiction of fixing bugs in production:-D. Thanks for sharing!

They seem to be fixed now!

Half!? Who knew that I was so far along, in my many projects?

PieFed automatically offers a piped.video link for every YT post.

PieFed and Lemmy.

I appreciate so much PieFed’s ability to offer a true instance block:-)
