Not only is it ruining the experience, the geoblock is easily bypassable via a free vpn. Idk whatever they are trying to achieve could be achieved if the geoblock is this bad.

Not working. Feddit.org is inaccessible, only when I am using vpn I can access it. It does look like they have geoblocked certain parts of Asia.

So I looked it up. Feddit seems to have blocked most parts of aisa because of Alibaba scrapping data. Someone from Saudi Arabia too reported being geoblocked.

Thanks, but unfortunately I am using lemmy on mobile. I cannot access network logs here

[โ€“] cinoreus@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Yup I am. Why are they geoblocking India?

It's specifically feddit.org. exactly the one where it looks like you created the account, I cannot load images from there on my lemmy feed for some reason, .do you mind if I use your feed as an example?

For some reason, I cannot load any images that are posted by people who made their account on feddit

Semrush is supposed to be not that inaccurate. It's a data analytics platform. I don't have the subscription to it to verify this myself, but it's a huge issue if they are posting inaccurate information.

 

So I just simply compared the top posts of lemmy r/all and reddits r/all. Currently this month's top 5 r/all posts are somewhere between 228k - 142k upvotes, while lemmy's are between 2.2k and 1.7k.

The monthly active user count of reddit is over a billion, while that of lemmy is 1.2 million(edit: no it's 40k. It's looking even worse for reddit). If we just compare them by these metrics, reddit has 1000x the users but 100x engagement. And this also held true when I compared the meme subreddits using the same metric, but news subreddit was an outlier where the subscriber to upvote ratio was equal between them.

It's extremely crude calculation, but since I observed this pattern, I felt I need to share this somewhere. What I feel is that as social media platform gets larger, the number of lurkers, people who don't engage, increase. could there be any other reason?

 

Hey, I am curious, are people working on storing fediverse data off the servers? Like using bittorent protocol or ipfs?
