I highly recommend it. I daily crust because I don’t mind if something breaks and I figure it’s probably useful having a few people consistently using it so they can alert devs if something is fucked.
Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.
to be fair, a minority of video creators (and nearly no subreddits) have very long or sporadic upload schedules, which would make the MAU metric be weird bursts. MAU works for regular content which Reddit pretty much always is while only the top YouTube creators do that.
So for a channel that releases like 10 videos a year?
Tbh I could probably think of something but really what is even the point in it? Like it doesn’t even matter to me how many people are watching a youtube video. At least a community on lemmy the active users are the people you are talking to. But watching a video is the same with 1 or 1B views.
This kind of already happens there though. Video view counts are visible and often way below a channel’s sub count.
Sure, there are exceptions (viral video views often far exceeding the sub count), but by and large they’re a good metric for seeing how a channel is actually doing.
That’s news to me. They took away subscriber numbers? YouTubers still talk about them.
And this is the number behind the plaques they send out to people. I can’t image them stopping that. They won’t send plaques based on weekly average activity numbers.
seems to make sense on the surface. inactive users are kind of a useless metric.
This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs
Piefed 1.2 will fix this.
Wait. We get pie?
Where do I claim said pie?
No that’s not how this works. You get free pie by agreeing to the ToS that agreed to being forced-fed said pie. 👀
Okay. But where is the pie?
Two doors down on the left. Be careful tho if you go to the third door unspeakable horrors lay there.
The first door on the left is the bathroom btw.
I need to make the switch

Sort by “Top-Month”
Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).
lol, watch YouTube do the same and creators flip the fuck out.

Weekly active users.
Also, just show the new stat. No need to hide the subscriber total.

Remember that my original comment was pointing out that YouTubers would flip out if they switched to this metric.
I agree with you.
Weekly would make the weird bursting even worse.

Yeah, you can infer it.
But no one is making a thank you video because they reached a weekly active users metric.
I thought they already are doing that?

I was thinking of the drop in views that some creators are reporting… not subscribers. My bad!
To be fair, just give users ALL the data. Boom “problem” solved.
Lemmy has this problem too, its why many think .ml has all these huge comms, but thankfully by MAUs, only like Linux and Privacy are top
(What’s the problem with Lemmy.ml?)
