The search in Jerboa is...limited. It searches on community name(not display name) and it will only show about a dozen of the largest communities as results and nothing more. You essentially need to already know what you're looking for to find a great deal of value from it.

You really have to search for communities externally if you're looking for something that isn't a niche interest. There's a small handful of directory sites that help with this, but I can't for the life of me remember them at the moment if someone can help me out ๐Ÿ˜…

Edit: Mentaledge beat me too it. Lemmyverse.net is the largest of them.

It doesn't cause panic, but I don't back up my photos on my Google drive because I don't want to and I don't need to. So every time it forces me to accidentally turn it on, the sooner I stop it the fewer pictures I need to individually delete from my drive. It's a massive hassle that shouldn't happen.

Can they also stop harassing me to turn it on? The placement of the accept button is idiotic too because it's directly over where the normal nav options are. I accidentally turn it on all the time, need to frantically stop the backup, and then log into the desktop site to delete the photos it grabbed. It's extremely annoying.

You've done nothing wrong, however even if your question is not political certain people will try to make it political. Things will calm down a bit in about a month.

A lot of details regarding day to day Chinese life is not available to the Western world. You may have trouble finding an answer that's based on actual evidence, but people are very similar despite where they live and their motives will be comparable. People here will definitely be able to help you in that regard.

It's very close to a US election and people are being bombarded with highly emotionally charged stories and political information all day and everyone is a bit on edge currently. There's also a pretty large amount of sinophobia on this platform in general too. I don't have an answer to your question, but please try not to take what others might say too personally.

I've been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You're not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or "very slightly declined." Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it's actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what's currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don't know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

Ah, thanks for the correction I'll edit the comment. I always think NC for some reason, but both Carolinas are pretty interchangable in my mind.

Huh, that's somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.
