like, i’m just trying to post random content. normally i post stuff to /c/[email protected] but this topic feels more mature, less silly.

/c/[email protected] only has like 15 votes per post so it’s not very active. meanwhile /c/[email protected] has more like 70 upvotes per post on average. why is the casual conversations community so inactive?

    Basically still Separated.

    The pidfed developer basically gave the lemmy federate dev a huge fuck you by banning his instance because he didn’t like the instance icon. As you can imagine this means Lemmy federate dev isn’t going to work on piefed support. However, very reasonably, he will accept any piefed support PRs the piefed dev may wish to submit.

    So piefed comms are like early Lemmy comms still, no discovery other then manual.

      Oh okay, thanks for the clarification! What a shame it has become like this.

      It feels like infornation on this is so hard to get, everything is spread in tiny pieces around.

        That is the problem with decentralization… the discovery.

        However, people are fixing it, lemmy-federate is actively developed. I think the total daily active users has dipped a bit, but I’m still here to have conversations with people. Lemmy will grow, we just need to make it a great place first.

        Some of the lead architects of core infrastructure have “eccentric” personalities which create friction, but I’m hopeful we will get past that. You need unique people to solve unique problems.
