      This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs

            Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.

              Hmm these are some pretty cool features I’d be interested in. I currently use Voyager for lemmy and quite like the layout. Does Piefed have any good mobile clients? Is there something you’d recommend?

                dunno I don’t use mobile clients for piefed… I think there’s one but don’t know much about it.

            I highly recommend it. I daily crust because I don’t mind if something breaks and I figure it’s probably useful having a few people consistently using it so they can alert devs if something is fucked.

          Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

        This kind of already happens there though. Video view counts are visible and often way below a channel’s sub count.

        Sure, there are exceptions (viral video views often far exceeding the sub count), but by and large they’re a good metric for seeing how a channel is actually doing.

          Yeah, you can infer it.

          But no one is making a thank you video because they reached a weekly active users metric.

          That’s news to me. They took away subscriber numbers? YouTubers still talk about them.

          And this is the number behind the plaques they send out to people. I can’t image them stopping that. They won’t send plaques based on weekly average activity numbers.
