But they should be offset. Monthly MAU departures shouldn’t reflect in half-year until 5 months later. And half-year departures shouldn’t influence the MAU at all.
The fact that they line up to they day strikes me as very suspicious.
But I’m not a statistician
Right, that’s why I suggest providing both an opinionated option and an opinionated option. Like a “recommended” section and a “full list” section.
Let people without contest and who don’t care to learn the context in advance use an opinionated picker, but don’t withhold from people who want to dig in.
But it turns out I misunderstood the example that was given - those instances aren’t shown because they simply aren’t piefed instances.
Ah I misunderstood your example, I thought you were saying instances were intentionally excluded from the picker rather than “instances that don’t support this platform don’t appear”.
I’m not going to opine on what constitutes a “real” leftist apart from saying that left/right dichotomy really doesn’t describe reality well.
https://join-lemmy.org/instances will send you to places like hexbear.net and lemmy.ml, whereas https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser literally never will.
Honestly I think this is a problem. I don’t think the instance picker should be so opinionated that it blocks (legal) instances. I want extremist to be directed away from the normie and moderate instances. I prefer to clearly characterize instances and let people pick their own, while also providing opinion for people who don’t care or lack understanding.
Although this is clearly a point of preference, and I can see why some people would prefer the opposite to possibly prevent the radicalization of a moderate.

This isn’t a site. It’s a collection of sites (instances).
If there is an instance that doesn’t tolerate your kind of speech, then choose another instance that does.
Be aware that two of the largest hardcore left-leaning instances (hexbear, ml) have been widely defederated (instance-blocked), so it’s not fair to say that this only happens to right leaning or centrist ideas.
The beauty (and point) of Lemmy and fediverse is that if you feel like you’re being censored, you can join or make an instance of like-minded people, while still having access to the other area if you want it.
Lemmy is uncensorable, but doesn’t force people to listen to you.
It seems strange that these two curves so closely match eachother in shape.
When 6month active users drop that means 6 months ago a user stopped using the platform.
When monthly active users drop that means a month ago a user stopped using the platform.
So this would suggest that there is a correlation between user attrition 6 months ago and last month.
Thank you!
This is almost exactly my motivation when I recently started my homelab journey. A bit of privacy, but what pushed me over the edge is that I was supporting these anti-social corporations with my money or data, when they went fully mask-off.
I don’t think that is self hosting because I think that the game actually runs on their servers and your deck is just a client. But maybe it actually runs on the deck and the server is just for connecting the clients? 🤔
They’re party games you play together in person.
Some have analog-only equivalents but they often require you to have physical equipment, like pictionary basically requires an easel.
I don’t really disagree with you, but it’s good to meet people where they are. Party games that use a phone is better than no party games at all.
A statistician explain to me why these graphs seem correlated beyond general trend? They both seem to have localized events on the same day, but given their different timescales that doesn’t seem like it should be possible.
I raised the same concern on the other post too, but idk enough about statistics to for sure say something seems fishy.
