Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source
I think people who've only ever known reddit/instagram/twitter will find it dull, but this is still a relatively active place with quality users and mods.
The bigger and more reddit-like it gets the harder it will be to moderate and the more expensive it will be to run. Things are fine right now.
Lemmy put my 1st post here
I would also note that some instances with the ml ending like fmhy.ml got wiped out of existence a few weeks ago because Malaysia forcefully took back that domain suffix back. I was on there and had to make a new account elsewhere after I saw it wasn't going to come back up.
Mali*, not Malaysia. Malaysia's TLD is .my
Could be something to do with frequent outages. Every now and then I will have error jump out. I then give up for a day and then try using tomorrow.
I will admit, I was hard into Lemmy at first, but then gradually slipped back into the Reddit habit. This is my first visit to the site in a few weeks.
Can bot cleaning explain this?
Growth is not always consistent.
As a new user, I kind of can’t get over the idea that bots just seem to scrape links and repost them here.
That seems to be most of the contributions to communities to me.
Because every post is just Lemmy users jerking themselves off raving about how much cooler they are than Reddit.
It's so fucking cringe I I can't scroll more than 5 minutes without giving up.
That decline is slower than I expected. It shows that more people stay than not
The number of users are just stabilising. This is expected after a sudden spike in users.
People always tend to bounce back to the bigger platform.
How I like to deal with this is to use two or more platforms of the same kind.
Occasionally open Reddit, and occasionally Lemmy. Occasionally checking Fedi, and occasionally going on Twitter.
It may be disorienting at first, but it's better to get used to going on many websites than sticking to just two.
Lurkers not counting probably has something to do with that.
It needs a solid app like Apollo was for Reddit to help it keep active users.
Once Boost for Lemmy releases, 10, 000% growth will occur over the coming weeks afterward 😉 (IYKYK)
