PieFed user surge continues! 🚀

Amazing to see all the growth!

I'm working on getting https://nord.pub online!(rebrand from experimental nord.red) Well, it is online but I wanted proper HA, Backups, and some curated Topics.
Hosted in the Nordics and committed to not being dependent on US tech. (using Hetzner Finland and BunnyCDN)
That would be great!

Signed up! I still might stick to this account mainly, but a Nordic oriented Piefed instance is definitely appealing.

Quokk.au is general use and international.
Yep we already have a bunch of good instances ready to go:
- https://quokk.au/ - southern hemisphere
- https://piefed.zip/ - uk
- https://feddit.online/ - usa
- https://piefed.ca/ - canada
- https://piefed.blahaj.zone/ - lgbqa
- https://piefed.europe.pub/ - europe
- https://pf.korako.me/ - japan
- https://nord.pub/ - norway
...and ~60 more which seem to be for personal or closed-group use but which could open their doors any time - https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

And a million more on the way!
The instance chooser thing is a great addition to PF to help get users distributed across instances.

Yes, MAU is a bit misleading like that... Maybe 20% of them will stick around if we're lucky.
still a win. i'd rather the people who like it and put in effort stay than be awash with people who aren't bringing much. the biggest is the more people who try it and decide to stay the more diversity of thought we'll get. the threadiverse has a very eurocentric bias (here being the sociological construct, US and Canada both contribute to eurocentricism). i don't presume this will be fixed in this bump, but it is an opportunity for us who are already here to listen to new voices

Me too, fellow BuyerFromEU!
Just didn't delete my Reddit yet. There's some subreddits I need there that don't have the equivalent here yet.
But the plan is to start using this as my primary, and only go there when I need those. -

We need some new (a couple) of general-use instances to help direct this traffic! Piefed.social will help you and redirect traffic to you.
If by "direct traffic" you mean to send them there, then I'd say we don't need that, and shouldn't want it. The whole reason federation works is because control is spread out. Giving one, or a few, instances control of most of the content and users is a horrible idea and begging for issues. Speaking of, if you're on lemmy.world, you should consider spreading elsewhere. At least don't send new people there.

PS. you can see the graph starting from Zero:
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=2000Credit to @squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi for pointing out how.
Even if the graph not starting at zero could be misleading, a spike doubling the number of active user is still impressive.
-
It's an actual good increase but not starting the graph at zero is misleading. It didn't go from zero to the moon, it got from 1.5k to 3.5k, which is more than double, but not as exponential as the graph shows.

Yea I said the same in my other post, here is the graph form zero
You can view it like this: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1200

A day later and it's still going up at the same rate!

I just signed up for lemmy (brand new here). Can someone help explain piefed? I looked it up and it seems it used the same protocalls? I downloaded voyager app to use Lemmy - do I need to do something else to use piefed? I'm sort of confused, because a cursory search sounds like piefed works on voyager as well. . . If I'm already on Lemmy, am I basically also on piefed, just a different instance?
Sorry, hopefully someone who is smarter can eli5?

Piefed is also a part of the Fediverse, and reads Lemmy instances. Lemmy.zip also has a Piefed server at http://piefed.zip.

Same protocol, yes, so they share all the same content. And a lot of apps originally built for Lemmy now work with PieFed too. Voyager is one of them so if you have an account on a PieFed server/instance you can just add that to Voyager.
When using a mobile app there's not much difference for the average person. But PieFed instances have a lot of mod and admin tools which will tend to improve the quality of the content and people you come across, if that's how the server admins want to make it. https://join.piefed.social/features

So essentially it's just another instance? Do I need to create an account on a piefed instance to get the benefits of piefed vs Lemmy (which I'm not sure what I would actually get different).
