    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

      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.

      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?”

      No 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?

    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.

    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.

    Reddit is on the decline. We need more people to join the Fediverse.

      it’s only that high because 2020 is when search engines became visibly enshittified even to normies and people started specifically looking for human written things

    sorta interesting though this is just Google searches, and it’s funny to have YouTube as a social media but not Tumblr (edit: WRONG IDIOT)
