Just curious if anyone knows if the platform has seen even more recent growth since now Tiktok is even more so a state owned social media platform?
Should we tell people Lemmy exists or is the organic slow growth much better long term?
They’re welcome, but the platform in the fediverse that covers the Tiktok-kind of content specifically is Loops.
Wow the fediverse has a platform for everything. I was surprised to see there’s 1 or 2 Instagram alternatives too (e.g pixelfed)
I’m doubtful most tiktokers are interested in lemmy as a platform. Closest thing to tiktok that I can think of, that is part of the fediverse, is peertube.
Loops.
Loops would be the fedi TikTok alternative now
I don’t really see a crossover that would make sense. Why would you move to a mostly text-only format forum from a short-form video site?
I’d be wondering if Loops has seen any significant rise in users, personally, considering it is basically TikTok for the Fediverse.

There’s an uptick in active and total users. It’s not much, around +400 accounts, but a clear deviation from the line prior to the tiktok overtake.
Tik Tok is not a narc, it’s a propaganda tool.
TikTok almost singlehandedly turned American/Western opinions on Israel cause the genocide was being livestreamed and discussed openly, it makes sense.
That’s exactly why they decided it had to go and Trump and his goon squad hand picked the new owners. Remember he was fine with the Chinese ownership when he thought it was what got him the election. When it started turning opinions against the ruling class position is when he turned on it.
Talk about closing the barn door after the horse already bolted out.
Now it just looks like a flagrant admission of guilt. It’s actually rather pathetic.
Also both sides of the aisle were in on this. Democrats were also going after Tiktok.
I fucking hope not. Send them to twitter or facebook, don’t need them here.
Fleeing tiktok --> Instagram/Snapchat as first port-of-call. Almost every tiktok user will have one or both of those
Fleeing tiktok, Instagram or Snapchat and seeking a new SM --> Reddit
Fleeing Reddit (or Twitter) —> fediverse. I’m actually not sure how else anyone would discover the fediverse unless they A) are highly conscious of digital privacy, B) follow a creator who gives it a shout out, or perhaps C) are very into forums (they would probably try Reddit first)

In my opinion, both :). You telling people that Lemmy exists is organic slow growth unless you do it on a YouTube channel to many many people all at once.
