Green color means it’s healthy.

Thanks for letting me know. I don’t get any errors with Imgur, but I have noticed that Imgur posts here on Lemmy typically get way fewer upvotes than non-Imgur posts. If others are getting the same error you are, that could explain why. If anyone knows of a free video hosting alternative to Imgur other than redgifs, please let me know and I can use that instead.

I know this is just anecdotal, but I have literally not seen a single mention of Lemmy anywhere online or in the news in the last 3 months, including on Reddit. “Build it and they will come” only gets you so far…

The only real solution is to use rockets to nudge the Earth into a slightly faster orbit so it can be an even 365.

FWIW I always delete my browsing history at the end of each session, but maybe it is time to use a different browser.

Thank you! I just went and turned them off after seeing your comment.

Cool meme bro.

Let’s put things in perspective. Lemmy.world currently has a “whopping” 127k users. That’s fewer users than the moderately successful niche subreddit I created on Reddit has, which is just one of several thousand subreddits over 127k in size. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Instagram, youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc., pages with more than 127k subscribers. Saying lemmy.world has “a lot of power” at this point seems like a real stretch to me.

Fenton!

Thank you for that very detailed explanation.

I just noticed it was removed from lemmyverse too. For us non-experts, what do you mean by “API issues”?

“Oscar Meyer tells employees to eat less meat”

I still have the community I moderate (!fitandnatural@lemmy.world) set to mod posts only, because I’m the only mod and don’t want to risk someone posting something bad while I’m not on Lemmy. We really need an approved user feature like Reddit so that vetted community members can also make posts in communities where “anyone can post” isn’t a good option.

The ale will no longer be Indian or pale.

BTW subscriber growth is also very important if we want lemmy to have a wide variety of good quality content in the future. Speaking as an active poster, the main reward for me is when a post I’ve made get lots of upvotes and comments. I’m willing to keep posting to lemmy for now even though most of my posts here get many fewer upvotes and comments compared to Reddit. However, if several months from now the post response is still at the same level, then my motivation to keep contributing content to lemmy will diminish. It’s the same reason a community with, say, only 20 subscribers gets few if any quality posts while a community on the same topic with 2,000 subscribers gets many quality posts.

Just looking at the current number of lemmy.world subscribers (115k) , lemmy is very, very far from where it needs to be for long term success as a real alternative to other social media sites. There are literally hundreds of subreddits on Reddit that have more subscribers than all of lemmy.world, which is the largest instance. So far the only place I’ve ever seen lemmy mentioned is on Reddit, and even then only in certain subs like r/CenturyClub, which isn’t even public. I think the key to getting new suscribers is for people on twitter, instagram and facebook to start mentioning lemmy on a regular basis and using clickable lemmy links in their posts.
