    Is there any particular reason for this?

    Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.

          The 3 posts I made on reddit promoting the Fediverse and PieFed got over 300,000 views together.

          More people getting involved in fedigrow could see much higher numbers, but let's not spam.

            That graph looks nice. There's also new instances popping up. Looks like healthy organic growth.

                this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.

                    Here from Reddit.

                    It's about time to move over.

                      As a small comment, !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com is supposed to be the community for promotion outside of the Fediverse, so Reddit and others.

                      !fedigrow@lemmy.zip is dedicated about community growing.

                      Maybe the names are confusing and we should switch community growing to a new !communitygrow@piefed.zip or something

                        Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!

                            One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

                                  That's actually also the reason I am here, lol. Reddit feed. has gone down the drain, although I don't get Ice ads. I ain't American.

                                    It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.

                                      the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature

                                        I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it's 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on...

                                          If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that?

                                          And most people are not coders. What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?
