PieFed Users Surge!

If you hate the term threadiverse I'd happily recommend fediverse!
Threadiverse is a subset of the fediverse, though.

Instance responsiveness compared to your location IIRC

eyyy, i'm one of those. long time mastodon user, but was always intimidated by lemmy, piefed seems a lot more friendly.
Welcome here!
-
Where's the increase coming from? Users changing from Lemmy or new users to the theadiverse? (I fucking hate that word)
(I fucking hate that word)
Not the biggest fan either, but nobody has better alternative. Compared to Forumverse, Threadiverse is a bit better.
Also a few threads on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !fedigrow@lemmy.zip

You still can't follow a Mastodon user from Lemmy or Piefed. The compatibility exists but is definitely not the same level than Mbin/Piefed/Lemmy
Both words describe different concepts.

piefed.social's server is coping fine but I recommend new people join any other instance. Look for one with a rocket or lightning icon - https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser
tfw 99.6% uptime is only medium stability

It's not a technical stability we're talking about there - it's more human. Number of admins with SSH access, whether there are donations coming in, if there are daily backups.
Sorry, all this is undocumented.

I'm guessing it's because we fund our instances out of our own pockets, and donations don't cover the entire cost? If you're looking for future improvement ideas, I'd much rather that information be exposed directly, than the word "stability" which implies we have uptime issues
-
Anything less than 5 9's of uptime indicates a lack of commitment.
Please do not ask about the uptime of my self hosted services.

Love to see it!

Oh crap, I was aiming for 9 5's!

Yes I'd be happy to find a better word for it. Although, with low social stability eventually there will be 0% uptime so they are related.

I think that's a bit harsh. As it is, Kaity and I would both have to get hit by buses for us to lose the ability to fund our instances. We're both well in to our careers, with sufficient earning power to cover the finances. We would both have to lose our incomes for the long term, before the site itself became threatened. Long enough to ask for community funding if it came to that.
In real world terms, we've been hosting fediverse instances out of our own pocket for over 3 years now, which is a time period few fediverse instances can match, and even fewer threadiverse instances.
Which is to say, I think our social stability is pretty reasonable by fediverse standards. There absolutely are instances out there with higher levels of social stability, but that's not because they have more community funding, it's because they have more users and more admins, which also comes with requisite organisational structures that lets them run their instances without any individual admins being the point of failure.

Yes, this isn't a personal judgement about your particular circumstances. The instance chooser embeds assumptions about what tends to happen on average. As such it can never fully represent every situation.

can confirm
Woo nice!

Community-verse? Groupiverse? Topicverse? Lol

Piefed is a different reddit-like software that federates with Lemmy. It's a different take on the same thing that Lemmy is providing, but still compatible with everything, so a piefed user can see and respond to your comment even if you're on Lemmy.
Piefed also has some neat features unique to it, such as:
- a very nice gallery view for image heavy communities.
- the ability to combine comments from multiple communities under one post, if the same link was posted to all of them. You can see an example of that here (notice how the comments have dividers for each community).
- the ability to create and subscribe to a pre-made list of communities, sorta like a multi-reddit.

Exactly why Threadiverse isn't too bad xD
