On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.

Ah, I see. I've never used those platforms, but I always thought that I could just see a newsfeed with posts of people I follow.

You can, but the feeds that are supposed to help you find people to follow in the first place are important, and Mastodon's are awful.

But why should do you need some algorithm to find some people to follow? Unless you talk about a search algorithm?

[-] static_motion@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

No, I'm talking about the hypothetical algorithm that fills a page with things you might be interested in. Twitter has it (even though it's not necessarily good), even Reddit these days has some of that, it's a feature in most social media websites and sometimes quite a useful one, and Mastodon just lacks it altogether.
