I made this post today, https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1quso40/comment/o3evucz/ It got 150k+ views, piefed.social etc. has seen a big spike in users.
If possible I want to copy-paste that recipe in r/BuyCanadian tomorrow to get more Canadians onboard here. But I need a nice image of a graph for the post to work.
Anyone know where I can get a graph like that? Admins?
Nice. And thanks for the script.
It’s good to know that most of these new users are coming from Reddit. I was worried that a lot of the growth of piefed users was just because people are switching over from lemmy (as is the case for me). That’s nice but lemmy users are already on the fediverse, so that scenario is nowhere near as exciting as a scenario where a whole bunch of new users are joining the fediverse for the first time.
Yeah, it’s a valid concern, but last time I checked MAU for Lemmy seemed pretty stable. So it seems some are leaving and some are joining there, while PieFed is having a moment in its own right. :)
Awesome! Piefed seems easier to use than lemmy so the barrier to entry seems lower, so I wonder if thats a contributing factor here. Either way though hopefully the growth continues!
