Discuit is one of the alternatives to Reddit which emerged at the same time as Lemmy (the other one being Tildes, mentioned at the end of the post)
Lemmy has 48k monthly active users (mau): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Mbin has 862 mau: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Piefed has 133 mau: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
On Tildes site, I counted around 25 posts per day: https://tildes.net/?order=new
We can see that federation was indeed a better solution, looking at the difference in number of Discuit and Tildes (not federated) vs Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed

Nope. Discuit is not a part of the fediverse. They also seem to dislike the fediverse, as far as calling it something that can never become mainstream any day soon.
Because of centralization and the dev’s delusions of being able to cover the fees for running the service can be fully provided by donations will eventually get it to be enshittified. What a beautiful person.
Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
done
what a retard
Probably didn’t need the personal insult. Reddit with it’s CEO huff and puffmann is basically as bad as it gets, so I’m happy about every competition. Obviously Lemmy is doing way better but I’d be happy for Discuit to do well too.
@AsudoxDev how can they expect to compete with reddit/lemmy - with 250 mau - and without fediverse ? curious to see how they’ll manage it
Crazy weak, considering how loud the Discuit advocates were at the time. Of course, mbin technically just adds to Lemmy, since they’re almost fully federated.

Yes, kind of funny how things turned oud
mbin technically just adds to Lemmy
Indeed, same for Piefed
I recall there was a third-party Reddit app developer who pivoted to Tildes at the time of the APIcalypse. Anyone know what became of them?
Cool! Glad it worked out for them. Great name too.
Is “Discuit” pronounced like Triscuit?
What is this thing and who is supposed to care? It looks sort of like Mastodon: is it related?

Indeed, but it still seems very quiet
It’s another reddit alternative.
48k? That’s it??? No wonder this place is so dead.
Also, what’s a mau?
I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.
I don’t click on the comments section if they have no comments. I am on here so often it could be described not as monthly, not as weekly, not as daily, not as hourly, but as minutely.
So I wake up, I see about 60 stories…and maybe 45 of them have comments. Ok. I have content for about an hour. I blocked I think 4 users? I’ve not blocked any communities, and I haven’t personally defederated from any instances, but I do reside on Lemmy.World which does defederate from quite a few communities.
Is 60 stories for your Subscribed or Local feed?
Subscribed. And I just counted, I’m subscribed to 161 different communities. And despite only subscribing to ONE political sub, my feed is mostly dominated by political stories.
Subscribed for me, doesn’t look THAT different from All. Except All has porn, and linux.
monthly active user
Imagine what it would be with 245 weekly active users
We need millions of minutely active users. People who work boring jobs, and just spend all day on Lemmy, talking trash about reddit, and all agreeing that George Clooney is a smug bastard.
George Clooney is a smug bastard
That’s oddly specific
Have you not come across any of the multiple comments I’ve made exactly like this?
I haven’t seen these posts, either. But I have to ask, are you this person?
That episode aired in 2005 or 2006. I remember I watched that episode on its first run with my girlfriend at the time.
She had heard me say for years how much I loathe him. So when Francine did THAT episode, I was like YES!!! YES!!! GO FRANCINE!!!
My girlfriend was visably scared how excited I got. It was like rooting for a sports team, except we were sharing our love of loathing a smug bastard.
That is hilarious. I can imagine it with perfect clarity lol
George Clooney doesn’t ring any bell
We need millions of minutely active users.
Why? So they can satisfy your need for content and save you from boredom?
Yes.
It’s an Egyptian cat.
