You know it's bad for Reddit when people were even talking about going back to Digg

Yay!!! Let’s go :)

Zoidberg voice: hooray im helping

Woo! That's awesome. I am seeing quite a few more people.

We are already successful, I'm seeing stories, news articles, and videos that normally would never get pushed to the top. We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

MAU? Mostly Anal Users? Martian Appalachian Upholstery? Mass Ass Underwear? Missing Alligator Utensils? Moldy Apple Uterus? Massive Arctic Uranus?

I'm calling this one the exodus of st mangione

Worth noting is that what counts as an "active user" has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an "active user" was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

To anyone new wondering about phone apps for Lemmy, I use "Thunder" and it works great.

Also, feel free to say Luigi without getting banned.

I'm in this picture and I like it!

Wow. And we’re almost at the halfway point of the month. I wonder if we’ll reach 100k at eom.

Slow and steady wins the race. Also helps to not be shit. looking at reddit.

The growth in 2025 has been staggering, ngl. And this is the kind of thing which converts from a trickle to a tsunami very quickly. It never happens with one shock. But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks. Reddit's desperate struggle for profitability practically ensures those will keep happening, so this is all inevitable at this point. The only thing that is uncertain is whether digg can recapture the fleeing masses who are not cognizant of the dangers of corporate vc-backed enshittification yet, like bluesky did to Twitter.
