Yes. Here are some common ones in my native language, danish:

• pga: på grund af (because of)
• dvs: det vil sige (used for adding additional explaination)
• ift: i forhold til (in relation to)

I’m certain there are also some more modern slang abbreviations in use, but these change relatively frequently, like they do in English.

Is Apple not going to allow sideloading in the EU soon?

MAUs are counted by commenters and posters. The stats could just as well show that there are fewer people engaging for the sake of engagement, which was a huge problem last summer.

Cool answer, but ignores the question, no?

It might have to do with the release of the app “Boost for Lemmy”.

Oh great! Seems like the data is at the very least comparable, although the numbers are a bit deflated.

2021 has got to be a bad sample year with COVID lockdowns differing from country to country, right?

Avelon on iOS, mlmym on web at the moment. Still looking for a UI that let’s me show the local feed of another instance while still being signed in.

It seems like a lot of Lemmy users are slightly radical american “leftists”. This is an example of this on Lemmy.world. It seems that some users see Lemmy as a forum for politicly “left”-leaning americans, not a general purpose forum. Maybe some people prefer an echo chamber?

Avelon. A native iOS app with a decently active developer. Has all features i would expect from a Lemmy app at this point.

I also tried Voyager, but it seemed a bit off to me.

Thanks. That’s definitely the best frontend available for me.

One thing I could use is a good desktop web frontend. On desktop I’d much rather browse Reddit(old+res) than any of the clients I have found. All of the clients are missing usable keyboard navigation, or the interface is too clunky for my monitor.

What even is free expressing. There are already limits to free speech in Denmark. This is just another.

For me it’s laziness.

Imagine the survival rate without precautions. (e.g. look at Italy 2020)

That makes just about 100% then.

Half the posts are also just people specualting about activity on lemmy.

One thing Lemmy is missing is a way to join that doesn’t require you to understand the fediverse - currently the barrier of entry is quite high. Also, there aren’t any great user interfaces yet, which makes the platform difficult to use.
