I recognize your name and appreciate your efforts, fam!

Say, are you saying that it’s possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I’ve only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.

The article seems well-written, except that:

the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.

Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we’re like “and others” lel… I guess they didn’t mention Pixelfed either tho and it’s a lot “hotter”…

depressed/self-loathing people dating each other is a really bad idea and results in shitty relationships and emotional turmoil

I see what you’re getting at here… but sometimes instead it results in going to couples therapy and figuring out the roots of your problem and talking to a psychiatrist for medications, etc.

Apple Maps currently shows it as Gulf of Mexico, fwiw.

The nerd can also create a startup, and get a friend to be the business person. Usually this involves selling the startup to a large company at some point.

If the nerd is an academic, the university can “help” the academic to market the invention; the academic will get a tiny amount and the university gets the rest. Or the academic can create a startup on the side, and set up their favorite graduate as the business person.

the more popular places on the Fediverse seem to be stagnating right now

Dunno, from Fediverse Observer, it looks like lemmy and mastodon are growing slowly over the last couple weeks. (the mastodon stats look a little weird tho – there’s a plummet on Jan 30th that looks like a data collection artifact.)

Excellent point, do you happen to know where I can find longer-term usage data?

I dunno… it’s like the difference between a chain restaurant and your favorite local cafe/pub/diner. The chain restaurant has its benefits, but you have the best interactions with your buddies at your local cafe/pub/diner.

o yeah thanks!

user retention

yeah, hard to tell… Lemmy peaked a little under 70k MAUs and is around 45k now… if pixelfed peaks at 300k it’s reasonable to think it levels at 200k (i.e. a hundredfold increase from a month ago).

ofc every situation is different… e.g. pixelfed has tighter Mastodon integration (pro) but may depend more on a network effect (con). also iirc the lemmy MAU count methodology shifted at some point, from post/comment to post/comment/upvote/downvote which is a confound for the lemmy dropoff count…

you just need to make sure one of your users has followed an account/lemmy community on the pixelfed side

OK so I went to my pixelfed.social account, searched for “@[email protected]” and clicked on the “follow” button.

and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.

So… does it have to be a lemmy account on lemmy.world (for [email protected], say). And is there any particular pixelfed account that the lemmy account has to follow?

Thanks for the lead.
