Instances that disagree with being found in search engines are not shown. Instance admins can configure their robots.txt by adding lemmy-search. All other instances can theoretically be found. I think their priority depends on the laws of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This probably means that a post on myownlemmy1337 that is federated with lemmy.world, will be found as a post on lemmy.world.

So, if Lemmy was very famouse, I guess it’s possible to get pages over pages with the same result from different instances. However search engines usually have a way to exclude “similar” results.

For voyager it may be possible, they do not want to be found, I don’t know about this though. You could add site:vger.app to your search prompt for testing this.

It seems like the other two tools only report about 49k MAU, any idea why?

True, I was looking from the perspective of lemmy. But I think that’s fair, as the fediverse is not as federated as it pretends to be. For Lemmy it’s about 1,000 servers. I guess many of them are singles person instances, but that comes from my subjective feeling and can be bullshit ;)

I don’t know about the “tens of thousands of servers” in the Fediverse. For now, it’s pretty easy to keep an overview. I also do not think the number of servers will scale linearly with the user base. Most people may choose a server randomly, but after a while in the Fediverse you will find your instance. Take feddit.org as an example - they have a charitable organization behind then, the “Fediverse foundation”. People like that instance because of the terms it operates under, and they do their thing. Server admins are not necessarily random people, and I don’t think coordination happens via hash tags.

Well I guess this is only the domain and their server us hosted elsewhere. But good point.

I just changed the USB port of my Motorola because it was broken AF. I always had to tweak around for 5 minutes to get the cable stable enough for loading, it sucked. I bought the spare part for 17,90€ on eBay. It was a struggle removing the back cover, but now I have a mobile for another 2 years!

I used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.

Your own instance. But don’t complain if you get defederated

It’s in fact the only social media I have. Nobody wants my visiting cards anymore, it’s always “do you have linked in”. In the years I have LinkedIn, it actually didn’t gave me anything ever. Why the fuck do I use LinkedIn?

I see vils, I upvote.

It’s a very easy way to contribute to environmental protection as a citizen. You should definitely tell the authorities. I am not from the US but I guess you can write a Mail to your local environment agency, no need to call the police.

I think Voyager is one of the most popular Lemmy web frontends. I haven’t used reddit for a long time but it seems to be more similar to the new than old design… I honestly don’t talk about reddit designs with people in the real world

It seems people have different preferences and there are some millenials that want to watch just funny cat images and don’t mind looking at the less funny cats from time to time. The article we are talking about (do we?) draws shitty conclusions based in shitty data (“people within my bubble”).

I’m mobile so I am much faster scrolling. I guess that’s an important point, most people probably use their smartphones browsing Instagram etc. Also I use Voyager for browsing Lemmy on PC, no reddit for me

I haven’t spoken to very many people about this

Obviously not. I, a millennial prefer the “new” design. I can subscribe to communities and subreddits with already is a good way to filter content. I don’t have to look at everything that gets thrown at me. Also I do not have to be scared there is a hidden ad somewhere inbetween like when using Instagram or whatever.

I also really liked the forums from the bronze age, but those were text-based at the post level, while Lemmy also supports images and links (including thumbnails).

I got one on my work laptop this week. It’s controlled by a shitty management software that is used by our IT, but still.
