“All things must pass… except perhaps Reddit.” @[email protected] https://vis.social/users/infobeautiful/statuses/113986535718924599
This isn’t really telling us much.
For instance, if we compare FB and Reddit.
Facebook is a social media platform that doesn’t offer anything other than connecting people and groups, or for business pages and events. It’s not useful for external searches to take you there because it tries to force you to logon or get the app every time to view anything, and the search function absolutely sucks. I’d imagine most searches for “facebook” are people putting the term in google search to reach the platform or searching google to see if a person or business is on facebook. The search term is going to decline because most everyone that uses FB is already on it and FB is mostly pointless to search.
Reddit is a collection of subs , some of wich contain desirable information. It can be tech help, mechanical help, memes, history information, etc. So people absolutely search reddit + (thing they are hoping to find).
Iow, it’s a measure of usefulness via search, not popularity or user numbers. The more restrictive to search, the less people will look for it.
Where is 4chan?
The infamous hacker? You’ll never find him.
I walked into that one
Just zoom out.
Lemmy?
It’s right there alongside diaspora
Lol
The most recent reddit spike is definitely just people adding the word to google searches to make the search actually useful instead of SEO slop
That stopped working like a year ago.
Makes me wonder if the pinterest numbers are from queries with “-pinterest”.
Pintrest annoys me, it will have an image im trying to find the source of, and when i try to view the page its on the post just doesn’t fucking exist??
Probably yeah
how did pinterest so suddenly become popular? I remember the first time I encountered pinterest, and then I encountered it regularly from then on, just in random google image searches.
The graphs are relative to each medium. You can’t directly compare the popularity of different apps from this image.
Edit: Here you can compare them to each other yourself:
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Pinterest,Tiktok&hl=en
You can see that 100% of one app in this post doesn’t equal 100% of another app.
That’s not what I mean. Even discarding any scale factor, Pinterest’s popularity curve looks remarkably unique. It’s basically the heaviside step function.
In my mind I excused it ask having low but constant volume of users.
You can see when they banned porn on Tumblr.
dafuq is bereal?
during covid people used that, you got notification and need to take a pic of yourself and what you are doing at the moment (not from phine gallery) it was meant to show how staged instagram with everyone living their best life. it was a good idea but people stopped using that once the hype went down
It’s kind of like Instagram, but it picks a random moment during the day for you to take a picture. ( When you’re awake normally ).
When the app goes off you have 1 minute to take a picture. If you miss it you can’t post a picture anymore.
It’s a bit of a reaction against the perfect pictures you see everywhere and people having amazing lives all the time. You’ll see pictures in your feed from friends/family just chilling in front of tv. Sometimes it’ll be nice timing ( oh wow! Just when we’re at <beautiful place> and other times it’ll be when you’re having a movie night with your SO.
I say friends/family because AFAIK you need to be friends with somebody to able to see their posts.
It’s like cereal, but made out of bees. It’s stingingly delicious!
Is that what those dogs that shoot bees from their mouths eat for breakfast?
Does it come in a gluten free variety?
It took me way to long to realise that bereal probably doesn’t rhyme with cereal.
The app that pings you at a random point in the day to show what you are “really doing with life”
Is pinterest getting more popular or is it that people have spent the last couple years searching for “who uses pinterest” or “how to remove pinterest from search results?”
Depending on how these are calculated, I do use
$searchterm -inurl:pinteresta lot, when using googleNo idea how, but it seems to be capturing the youth market, at least amongst my kids’ peers. Maybe as an alternative to tiktok/YT as those are more likely to be blocked/restricted by parents?
Lemmy: ___________^------
What happened in 2015? Why are there so many Finns?
Especially when it should be considered that Finland might not exist.
Damn. So the real Lemmy generates essentially zero search traffic. Sad!
Fediverse:
Are you telling me that I live in a world where LINKEDIN AND PINTEREST are the most successful SOCIAL MEDIA sites?
Edit, missed the “relative” part, so most consistent sites? Still weird.
Linkedin serves a professional purpose so I can see why it’d be the most consistently searched. Like even if people don’t actively use it, at least part its purpose is for hiring managers to be able to search a person and have their professional persona pop up. It’s the most accessible way to find a version of a person online that’s not restricted or under a pseudonym.
That being said, people that actively use it for anything other than keeping their resume up to date or job search/hiring are usually nutjobs.
Pinterest is somehow getting traction with the kids, I have no idea how or why but they’re all on it. I honestly thought it died along with the likes of Flickr.
Who tf is googling linkedin or pinterest
damn, google+ wasn’t even mentioned
You can see when Reddit became mostly bots!
