This is one of my favorite parts of raising kids. They are full of questions, and if you are patient and thoughtful you can really blow their minds while enriching them at the same time.

I like Sky Map. Originally developed by Google, open-sourced in 2012.
I saw the report and came as fast as I could!
@GrymEdm@lemmy.world doing the Lord’s work here.
Sure, they have more bodies. They increased the maximum conscription age to 30 last year, and keep calling people up by the hundreds of thousands. But a large army is not necessarily a good army, especially if a substantial portion are conscripts.
Life insurance companies could conceivably do this already. They sometimes ask for blood tests (among other exams) as a precondition of granting overage.
That FediDB stats page is confusing. It isn’t clear whether they only count instances that have joined Fedipact, or also include instances that have blocked Threads without joining Fedipact. A quick glance at the list suggests the latter. But in that case, there are a bunch of instances missing from the list.
The list on the Fedipact site is a better source:

As for admins versus users, here on sh.itjust.works we held a vote among our users. The result was overwhelming: 78% of users voted to preemptively block Threads.

Holy cow, happy cake day!
What have the past three years on Lemmy been like for you?
Lookin’ California, and feelin’ Minnesota.
It’s got electrolytes!
Yep, there must be lots of uncounted lurkers. If you look at the active user charts at The Federation there was a spike in December when 0.19.0 released. I expect we’ll see more spikes as additional instances upgrade to 0.19.
I suspect abandoned alt accounts are a huge reason for the long, slow decline in user numbers. These graphs should be titled “active accounts,” not “active users.”
Up through Lemmy version 0.18.5, “active” meant posting or commenting within a specified timeframe (past month, past year, etc.). Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.
Does this work?
DeWalt gang, stand up!
It’s interesting that Mastodon instances are trending in the opposite direction of Lemmy instances. Most are staying federated with Threads. I wonder if that’s simply indicative of the strong anti-corporate culture on Lemmy, or if there’s more to it.
Meta doesn’t need to bother with back-channel influence peddling of existing instances. If Meta simply opened its own Lemmy instance it would immediately be the largest Lemmy instance by orders of magnitude.
This is why kbin exists. It’s a Lemmy/Mastodon combo service.
I too am curious to know the answer.
