If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago

ikr lemmy has a little over 40k active users. If you look at the first data point just as the slope starts to rise, that's where lemmy is by comparison:

Total users is pretty meaningless bc it includes things like users who left and will never return, and bot accounts.

What are you guys posting pictures of over on pixelfed? What's goin' on over there that's so popular? Is it more politics, and social issues? Or is it cats?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 minutes ago

It's mostly landscape, food, and cats.

I'm mainly posting dogs and computers

There's a sudden influx of users from instagram and tiktok and whatnot because of the ban, zuckerberg fellating Trump, and all of that stuff going on. So the answer to "What's getting posted?" is "everything"

that user name logo should be a war crime

I have standing orders to invade the Hague if ever tried there

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.

...........titty pictures of girls in bikinis from women who claim to be influencers, but have an audience that mostly doesn't communicate or care what she has to say, thus negating any influence her words have?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

I posted a guide to modding a tatacon for taiko no tatsujin

Severely underrated game (with also one of the most underrated minigames ever!). I just wish it had more vidya crossover music.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

The new one has more game music than old ones did. But to get a lot of it you have to subscribe. Thankfully the subscription isn’t terribly expensive ($10/3mo) and it’s easy to get it in a way that doesn’t auto renew. Music licensing is stupid though so music games are dying and will probably forever be subscription services going forward. The days of buying a game like guitar hero are long gone.

It has the classic ones like Mario medley, Zelda overworld, Kirby, persona 5, undertale, etc. but the game pass adds stuff like tekken, id@lmaster, ridge racer, tales of symphonia, ace combat, etc.

it’s a weird mix that’s definitely missing a lot of iconic stuff though. The push is definitely more pop/vocaloid/anime music

Alternatively you can get something like opentaiko or tjaplayer (closer to the real game) and use custom charts from a site like https://ese.tjadataba.se/ESE/ESE . You need a pc but it doesn’t require a particularly great pc and pretty much every drum controller, including the official console ones, work on pc.

I definitely wish it was more popular in the west. Online play is an absolute ghost town unless you play during Japan time. Like if you play during peak us hours matchmaking will literally spend 20-30 minutes to find no one.

........did you just have a stroke??? Did you turn Japanese midsentence? What just happened here?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That’s not Japanese fyi, 太鼓の達人 is the Japanese name

It is Japanese drumming game with an associated controller, I posted a guide with pictures to modify the drum controller so it’s more sensitive to being hit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'd say it's Japanese, just the romaji for 太鼓の達人. English translation would be like "drum master"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 minutes ago

I mean yes but it’s also the official title for the English release of the game.

Like to be clear I’m not being the person who’s like “oh have you seen Kôkaku Kidôtai?” And then you’re like “what the fuck is that” and I’m like “uh, I guess if you’re uncultured you might know it as ghost in the shell.” And then everyone in the room groans because of fucking course every single person who speaks English as a native language has always called it ghost in the shell

From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Everything. It’s like early days Instagram, but people are more politically and socially aware, and posting about those things.
