Thank you dev team for everything you do for this project. Your perseverance is admirable and appreciated. 💚

The info has been on their sidebar for years now.

Paging @bitofarambler@crazypeople.online, maybe this is something in your area of expertise? Or maybe a future topic for !travel@crazypeople.online?

Does this build have the vote traffic updates mentioned in this thread or will that come in a later/bigger release?

As always thank you all for the hard work that goes into building and maintaining this project. 💚

Great to hear! Thanks for all the time and effort that goes into supporting this platform.

Something has been preventing all the servers and users from showing up on join-lemmy.org for the last couple days. I sent Des a DM about it yesterday before I realized you were the one managing it. 😅

I think it gives a much clearer picture of “who actually sees us” compared to “who liked it enough to subscribe” which is the more commonly used metric. Both data points can be meaningful but I find % of Threadiverse MAUs shows the pulse of the communities more accurately. Subscriber numbers don’t usually go down by much but that doesn’t mean those people are active, so it’s not great for understanding growth IMO.

Since getting back to more regular posting our top communities have seen substantial growth in MAUs:

Something I’ve been interested in lately is what those numbers represent, so I’ve been calculating them as a percentage of active Threadiverse users. It’s cool to see the numbers go up, but it’s more interesting to me to try and understand what those numbers represent and how much room there is to grow within the active user base. Based on the most recent Threadiverse active user data there are around 47,405 MAUs on the Threadiverse, which means our most active communities represent around 5% of the total MAUs. Still lots of room to grow, but 5% also feels significant.

Note: There are multiple sources of data and they don’t all agree, so I used the one that most likely represents the biggest chunk of users in our communities- Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin.

Community Threadiverse Stats

The way the communities are developing is also interesting to me. The Eternal Playlist is the smallest of our “big 3” communities, yet it seems to be the most active community in terms of unique users posting. Then there are communities like weedtime that have much higher MAUs but very seldom see new posts unless I’m the one who makes them, but the voters and commenters are much more active. Time will tell if those trends continue or if others start posting more regularly as well.

Unfortunately the activity in our Pokemon community !pokemonTCGM@crazypeople.online hasn’t been as high as it once was and my time for it has been significantly reduced. I’m very thankful for all the effort that @Endmaker@ani.social has been putting in to keep at least a couple threads active with new and interesting card collections, lore, and game news. Without them it would probably be a ghost town which is a shame because the game is finally getting to a point where there are multiple viable decks and strats for playing PVE and PVP. If anyone is interested feel free to stop by and share how you’re finding the game!

In instance news, things continue to grow slowly and steadily. We’re averaging double digit active user numbers every day now, and our total membership has climbed to 125. Not huge by any means, but that was never the goal. We also recently launched a status page to keep our users informed during server maintenance and service outages which can be found here.

No problem mate. 💚

The rooms we had issues with were public rooms that were discoverable via Matrix, with a couple of links on the web to direct people to them. The links to the rooms still exist in the same places, but ever since converting them to XMPP links rather than Matrix ones the traffickers have disappeared. I couldn’t tell you if that’s because XMPP is less popular with that crowd or if the tools they’re using to discover and spam them don’t work on XMPP. Either way it was a welcome change.

In my experience XMPP is easy to set up, lighter on resources, and the clients tend to work well across multiple platforms. We have small private and public groups using it daily with zero complaints.

Matrix tends to be more involved in setting up, and our group ran into issues where some clients weren’t working as smoothly or reliably as we needed for a primary communication platform. We also had a huge problem with traffickers of all sorts joining our rooms to spam their telegram links or CSAM. That hasn’t been a problem after more than a year on XMPP.

Appreciate the community shout out and the kind words mate, thank you. 💚

To anyone discovering us for the first time, feel free to post the music you’re jamming too! More people participating means all of us are more likely to find new music and new friends to interact with. See you around!

I’ve been listening to a bunch of the hits from the 70s-2000s over the past couple days, many of which were posted to !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online. Everyone is welcome to come share what they’re listening with us there too! 💚

My favorite new discovery this week was posted by another user in that community- House of Protection - It’s Supposed To Hurt. If anyone has suggestions for more tracks from them or similar artists feel free to drop some names or post some links.

All good stuff. KSE was best with Howard Jones imo.

Fast Car is a classic.

Open invitation to you and everyone else to post what you’re listening to on !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online so even more people can enjoy. 💚

Nasty?
