I discovered something a bit sad today (maybe it’s just me feeling down due to being sick)…
Either I’m computing “active users” wrong in yarnd – Or this is just a depressing state of affairs. Or is it? 🤔 Do we care? Should we improve this? What do we make of this? cc @jlj@twt.nfld.uk @darch@neotxt.dk @eldersnake

what is there to be concerned about? its a small system and there hasn’t been a huge push to get it out there compared to some of the push fediverse and other things get.
unfortunately most go for quantity over quality which is why it costs millions to run twitter daily and a few cents to run yarnd
i will add a pod once i settle in. but there’s more out there.
im the last person to ask about what’s acceptable or appropriate.
however bringing awareness could come in the form of being on public social networks simply for announcements, having more github activity and interaction, finding one of countless blogs to do a q&a on or have someone review and do a tutorial on it. tons of no-to-low cost marketing techniques that avoid becoming a shitbag. :-)
also might i suggest thinking focusing on the self-hosting crowd? a well written post on reddit might stir some interest.
i know how you feel about social networks. (we both worked at one). but use their platform to pump our ecosystem.
