I wasn't think of changing/adding the code base, but yeah, that wouldn't seem to be too difficult to someone who knew the language.

That would be nice to have. I think each instance admin would have to figure that out and provide it for their server and then someone come along and aggregate the results.

Without getting admins involved, I suppose each server's average posts or comments per MAU could be a calculatable metric.

It has seemed a bit less active, to me, the last week or two. The MAU are monthly, so if, for example, there was something that caused people to take a break last week, we wouldn't see it for another 3 weeks.

Language Transfer is free and teaches you why the language is the way it is rather than just memorization.

My recollection is you can get to a 3000 word conversational level much faster than via straight memorization (ex. Duolingo).

One thing that may help you with satiation (not being hungry) is the amount of space/volume available in your stomach.

If your stomach is full, your body stops telling you that you are hungry, even if you were about to die from nutrient deficiency.

How to use this: drink a glass of water anytime you are about to eat (or drink soda). Then you can eat (or drink) like normal, except you will have the water's volume increasing your satiation. This will generally have you eating less.

DO NOT OVER DO IT ON THE WATER! HYDROCEPHALUS IS A THING AND YOU CAN DIE!

Hopefully that's somewhat helpful. Good luck and be safe.

Edit: Just to reemphasize, hydrocephalus literally means watery brain in Latin.

Game show contestants have died because they tried to drink excessive amounts of water in a short timeframe.

To echo what your saying and add a bit, it seems to me Godot would be a great idea.

Given OP has already stepped away from development once, I think a more universal game engine rather than a custom engine would be beneficial.

Also, I suspect, there are a lot more Godot developers compared to people who are willing to take time to understand and develop a custom game engine.

I'm not familiar with deploying custom code/packages/programs on a multitude of systems, but from the Godot updates, my understanding is that, its clicking a box. I feel that multiple systems are a nontrivial hurdle that could be avoided via Godot.

Last thing off the top of my head is that I recall one of the Godot tutorials is developing a pixel art fighting game. That seems like it would be an easy way to boot strap the game's development.

Regardless, I think a FOSS brawler game is a great idea. Good luck with development and I look forward to checking it out when its available.

The problem (downvotes) may be due to your source (jewishnews.co.uk).

I'm not very familiar with it, but I vaguely recall it being called out for bias (I could be mistaken).

A 2nd, corroborating source would probably help remove any worries of bias.

Edit: having read the article, to me, it pretty clearly has bias and logical fallacies. A 2nd source would be beneficial.

Haha. I don't actively search for different fediverse software and just come by it via people talking about them on the threadiverse.

NeoDB sounds interesting. I think I'll add it and move NodeBB and Catadon out of threadiverse category, until they are integrated better (tired of getting questions about their inclusion each week).

Edit: Updated report for today (20260420).

Takeaways:

All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): NodeBB, Catodon
Positive Daily Growth (last 7/7 Days): Bookwyrm
Positive Daily Growth (last 6/7 Days): Pixelfed
Weekly Growth (>10%, >500 MAU): Mastodon
Weekly Growth (5-10%, >500 MAU): Pixelfed, Bookwyrm

Source: [1] Fediverse-Observer, [2] FediDB

Notes:

Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [16], not the other [114] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Edit: updated the notes to be accurate.

Basically, all the listed softwares are thing I am curious about or intereted in.

I'm happy to add other software, if people want me to. Do you want me to add NeoDB?

Vicinus @piefed.zip 1w ago

Catodon is apparently working on it. Catodon announcement post:

After watching the Washing Capital examples you provided, the "goals against Charlie Lindgran" were funny.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, NodeBB is part of the fediverse, though I think they started connecting to the threadiverse (piefed, Lemmy, mbin) in the last month or two.

There was a server jumping in and out over a month ago (NSFW server?).

The last time it jumped in was 30 days ago. So, really not that big of a change for Lemmy.

Edit: -407 MAU from 29 days ago (roughly -1% change).
