Really? You can Google this and find plenty of sources online super easily.

Well long story short sweden has had quite relaxed immigration law for a long time and is now dealing with major crime problems as violent gangs cause shootings in the cities.

Check Swedens problems recently with unchecked immigration.

The choice of instance is kind of a big barrier though. There’s also a lot of bad UX around discoverability.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
That is a nice success story!

But this is only a default right? Surely an admin can open registration anyway?
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I guess a new flag to only exclude it from the list but not exclude it from the stats 🤷

Sorry, but the fact that you’re here means that you are probably in the top percentages of tech-literate people. Especially considering you’re on programming.dev.
You’re severely overestimating the technical literacy of regular people. For many people (maybe even the majority of people) even email is complex.

The platform right now is lacking actual discussions. Everyone seems to just like memes.
Honestly I’ve just blocked most of the meme comms 😅. It’s easy to see memes when I want to anyway by just opening a private window where I’m not logged in and going to the all feed. It’s always mostly memes anyway. Then when I’m logged in, I can see some other stuff without all the memes clogging up my feed.

with the exception of pixelfed
Why not that one? I’m not familiar with pixelfed.

Oh come on, let’s not pretend that the fediverse is just super intuitive and easy for regular users (i.e. non-techie people). Same ridiculous notion as when people say Linux is just as user-friendly as the more mainstream OSes. It’s sad and I wish it was better but it’s just not right now.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
That’s just how it works at the moment. It only counts active users from the sites listed.

You may want to edit your comment :)
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
my comment was mostly a joke
Sorry for not getting it, it’s just that sometimes people (understandably) get very confused about the technicalities of the fediverse and mix up things like defederation and stuff like this. 😅
Consider a /s in the future :)

I think I generally agree with you, but I don’t think this is a big grievance. Lemmy.world has enough traction as it is, they don’t really need the “publicity” from join-lemmy.org.
It would’ve been better if they had written this as some kind of policy beforehand. Like if they had written somewhere before this pull request something like “any instance with more than 40% of active users may be excluded from the join-lemmy.org listing”, then it would’ve been more reasonable too.

- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
You can read their motivation in the linked pull request. FWIW I don’t think there’s any ill intent here and certainly not an attempt to boost their own instance. I think they just want Lemmy to be decentralized and lemmy.world being as big as it is kinda prevents that.
I’m not sure I would’ve done it that way personally but I can see the reasoning and it’s not entirely unreasonable.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
This has nothing to do with other instances. The join-lemmy.org is run by the Lemmy developers and they decide what happens with that site. They think it’s problematic that lemmy.world is as big as it is (as one of the points of the fediverse is decentralization). So they removed lemmy.world from the listing on join-lemmy.org.
Note that this is in no way a defederation or anything of that sort. The site just doesn’t show lemmy.world, that’s all.

- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
That’s easy - Lemmy devs decided to exclude lemmy.world because it’s too big.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 weeks ago:
You should petition your admins to defederate or move to an instance that does so.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 weeks ago:
Lemm.ee basically doesn’t defederate anything. You should probably go to an instance that defederates those instances.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 weeks ago:
Keep in mind that user-level instance blocks are not the same as instance-level defederations. AFAIK, it only blocks the communities. You’ll still see comments and posts from that instance in other communities and that instance will still influence your feed with their votes.
It is better to go to an instance that defederates or to convince your current admin to defederate.

Hearing things that other people say is not real is a serious problem. Please speak to a medical professional.
