Fediverse

Thats the case for most new platforms you get a surge of users and then some titer off and stop using the platform. But don't look at the small dip look at the massive growth compared to a few months ago.

Being new to Mastodon and Lemmy I personally struggle to figure things out. Just finding a brief summary on how Lemmy works in contrast to reddit has, so far, yielded no helpful results. While I think for me this is just a matter of sticking with the services I can imagine that a lot of people would check in, struggle and check out again.

The, let's call it infrastructure, of Lemmy and the way registration works due to the fediverse is quite different to what most people are used to.

It's because Reddit is still alive and well and Lemmy just doesn't offer enough to be a serious alternative (yet)

Still a massive increase compared to a few months ago.

The very gentle slope towards normalization is quite good, actually.

I feel like it's one small community instead of an interconnected larger one, unfortunately.

@LambLeeg I swear we have this this at least a copule or few months of someone getting anxious there's a sight dip of active user on the Fediverse and eventually it goes up again.

I woudn't worry too much about the graph and just try to vibe here instead.. 🤷‍♂️

I'm active with comments, but not posts. That's all I can offer.

I'm doing my part!

Just like a whale, scraping off barnacles, for greater speed and efficiency

take my monthly comment

Number of active users slightly dips after exponential growth, surely the platform is dying, lets run around in circles and scream that the sky is falling.

Still better at retaining its users than Threads.

Interesting data considering the climbing daily post/comment(?) numbers I saw yesterday.

Thank fuck, I was worried my hosting bills were going to keep escalating... xD
