So it's been 1,5 months since I started the instance. People I invited from reddit basically don't post anything. LIke null. I recently made an announcement on Mastodon, two people from there joined and I think they like it, cause they post. But It's not like I imagined. I posted on X, invited people on reddit, tried also on fb. Still have only about 20 people here.

The amount of time I spend on these invitations, posting to keep instance alive, keeping up with the lemmy updates, managing the infrastructure of the instance is just big. And the counter of users looks freezed. If it was going up, thats another story. So that got me thinking. I had to reevaluate.

In short I think it's a very long game, and we should keep that in mind. I'm still confindent in the fedi but that revolution will come slowly. And I think, at least for me inviting people and trying to forcefully post may be somewhat counterproductive as there are gaziliion ways to act to make the world and people's lives aro

One week is left to reddit IPO. Should we be prepared for increased discussion on the internet about social media and fediverse? It would be a good time for our instance promotion. Apparently WallStreetBets are preparing to short the reddit stock, they might be onto something. If they will be succesful I think fediverse will be mentioned.

On the other hand, I just went to WSB. Looks like they aren't really interested in fediverse. Almost no talk about it

Reddit had a short outage (that's what you say it?) today. What came to my mind is we could use a script that checks if reddit has issues and if it has it could notify us through gmail or whatever and then we have we quickly make a twitter post with appropriate hashtags #redditdown etc. Everyone during outage goes to twitter to ask what happened, that's how they could know we exist. How we can check if the reddit is down? Haven't investigated it yet. There is this site or starters: https://www.redditstatus.com/

EDIT: Not sure if it's worth the effort because such events occur very rarely.

They fixed it already, shame. But we can check that as a small win for us. It's all about trust in the platform.

Thought of the posts on here and EH and elsewhere on this subject...

In my personal life. Will be posting and getting to my notifications shortly. Hope y'all been good

Hello guys! New here. I'm coming in peace from a friendly polish instance - fedit.pl. Actually I was contacted by Alice (I believe?) on one of subreddits, had a very nice chat and figured that this instance has to be quite cool. A question for starters - you are not federated - why? If you don't want to federate with all that crap out there, you can just put a few friendly instances on your whitelist in admin options (assuming they also have only friendly whitelisted instances).
