This seems to be a week for new weird projects. I followed the thing that enables this and also enabled it for my #FediBridge version of my blog. We'll see how it goes. Since the webmentions and boosts go back to the website that might be busy. I might have to figure out if #BridgyFed can mute a user.
Post on r/Privacy discussing reddit alternatives such as Lemmy & Piefed
r/buyfromeu is discussing a contingency plan if Reddit takes down pro-european subreddits
Lots of lemmy and piefed mentions. Let’s ask them to join [email protected] [/c/[email protected]]
Someone wants to spend money on a Reddit alternative
Comment thread on /r/Europe suggesting ditching Reddit, Lemmy and PieFed suggested
Would it be possible to track more statistics? (some potentially gross ideas)
If we really want to figure which instances to suggest, it could maybe be good to have some additional statistics tracked per instance, and compare to the global averages. I understand this might sound gross, but maybe there’s a good idea in here? - user retention (percentage of users that are still active after 6 months? 1 month?) - percentage of anonymous visits that result in a signup (ignore those that result in a login) - ban rate - signup acceptance/rejection speed - percentage of accepted signups vs failed/declined (maybe this just promotes accepting spammers) - average time spent on signup page
