XSF Communications Team - 2022-04-13

I see we didn't manage to get a nice subscription form for the newsletter, just a link to the mailman interface :/

MattJ: I tried, but failed

(see recent commits)

jcbrand: maybe you can help here again?

emus, do you have handy the current number of newsletter subscribers?

The lemmy instance I was talking about the other day is up and running; I'll add it to the pad. If anyone here wants to join, it's available here: https://community.xmpp.net/

(although I don't really know where to put it; XSF announcements then make it clear it's not an official XSF sanctioned thing? Articles?)

Maybe XSF announcements can just be "XMPP Announcements"?

Simple, add a "Community announcements" section?

Yah, that's probably best. I'll leave it up to emus since they compile the newsletter and just put it under the xsf heading for now

Thanks!

In return, I can share that xmpp.org receives ~90K monthly visitors

and the latest edition of the newsletter had 513 visitors to the web page since it was published

> MattJ escribió: > In return, I can share that xmpp.org receives ~90K monthly visitors wow 😨😨

MattJ: an the newsletter pages?

ah thabnks

> MattJ escribió: > and the latest edition of the newsletter had 513 visitors to the web page since it was published great to see

Is it easy enough to correlate how many people actually come from the mail? :x (I guess not, and it's probably fine this way :p)

Maybe those without a referrer..

pep., it's not

referrer is a bit weird on the web these days anyway, and many people probably have webmail

You mean many people use gmail? :P

75% of visitors had no referrer

6% (31 visitors) were from Hacker News

emus: those of use who never got the actual mail had to visit, like savages, a web page :( :)

Licaon_Kter, must be hard

The remainder were mostly bounced via internal links from other xmpp.org pages

Where do these 90K visits go actually?

Spambots?

> MattJ escribió: > The remainder were mostly bounced via internal links from other xmpp.org pages I dont understand

I mean.. scrape bots* :)

emus, other visitors just came from other xmpp.org pages

ah ok

pep.: it's a struggle

:P

MattJ: but you want to not invest time to the maillist because its low on people?

pep., I've made a best-effort attempt to remove bots from these results, but obviously that's never going to be 100% successful...

emus, where did I say that?!

MattJ: no, was a question

I mean, I dont blame

I would understand

You think 500 users is a low amount?

then its just going to spam folders 🤷‍♂️

MattJ: no, but I was comparing to the 90k

Do note that, I for eg. share the link to the newsletter when it's out or when it's needed, not the news link. ✏

I do think 500 is low fwiw, compared to 90K. I wonder where these go

/getting-started/ ?

The 90k are estimate without bots?

Most common xmpp.org links in the wild are to the client and sever software lists I think. And the homepage of course

pep., I almost exclusively go to xmpp.org to read XEPs, when I don’t have them generated locally already.

Ah right, XEPs, forgot about those for a sec

time to make those software lists pretty, I guess

Right.

Indeed.

Now would be a very good time for that.

Brb fixing it.

:D

Top pages are /, /software/clients/ and /software/servers/

Followed by /getting-started/

Most popular XEP is XEP-0124 (BOSH)

By visitors

For some reason XEP-0390 is getting a disproportionate number of hits

As in, someone is repeatedly accessing it

They're testing caps on the page

Doesn't seem to work

MattJ: > Most popular XEP is XEP-0124 (BOSH) > By visitors Web $hit attracts web s... Heh

It's because they need to GET the page very often to be sure that nothing had changed in between

*has

Hard to keep up with the pace of XEP development

With 0060 or 0045 you never know, I heard that some goblins are rewriting the page when you're not looking at it 👀
