Ask Lemmy

Currently trending down. And it's all your fault for taking a break. 😔

No, the MAU (which is what I assume you meant) seems to be going down very slowly. Though it probably will start going up once again someday. Possibly when the new digg is released to the public or when Reddit pulls another shit that not even the current Redditors will be able to tolerate.

I personally don't have a problem with the current state. I like it here. I recognize lots of people every day comment and post. It feels cozy.

Its been at a pretty consistent 50k which means we retained 25% of the users from our peak. Its 37.5k at the moment with 1.8k on piefed. There is another 18k users once NodeBB federations integrates.

Its a decent little community, enough to be self sufficient and enough for new users to feel like they arent joining a ghost town.

According to Voyager, I have upvoted your content 34 times.

Hope this helps.

I was worried at first that Lemmy would be basically dead compared to Reddit. But holy hell, its active enough and its qualitatively better than Reddit could ever be. I never realized how shit it was until I actually decided to leave permanently.

This ain't a sprint. This is a marathon

I don't know if Lemmy is the future but ActivityPub social media is.

It is only matter of time.

I no longer feed my shit post on corpo socials. This is an aspect of the class war. Don't feed your enemy.

Nice one for posting so much! I'm a prolific poster as well but you've got me beat. It's a lot of work but I love to see people happily chatting here. I've no clue if it's quieter atm overall, but don't know that lemmy will fail. There's enough of us atm, and not many alternatives.

I salute you. And please take care of yourself first.

I believe it’s is slowly going down over time. But this is going at such a slow rate that reddit enshitification might lead more people to here in the future before there is no more great content on here.

But thank you for making such a great effort. You deserve a break (:

Why do you care? What’s your goal? 5300 posts in 2 months is beyond the realm of mortals.

we peaked mid 2023, i have posted 2.8k comments in 2.5 years, so my work complements yours

Its the perfect size right now. Big enough to have a good variety of content and discussions while still small enough and niche to not be plagued by bots or targeted by corpos

Slowly going down. The learning curve is too steep for the general population (personal opinion, happy to debate).

Been here since November. Seeing a lot more upvotes and comments on posts than when I got here.

I do feel it’s increasing, and not to mention, I love scrolling through Lemmy more than Reddit these past few days, I noticed.

From what I've seen, no - the number of people actually regularly on here is going down, as I'm just seeing the same people more and more. When I use voyager you can see when your personal upvote/downvote score for every user on every one of their posts, and I'm mostly seeing people with a != 0 score, meaning I've interacted with their comments before. Means I'm not frequently seeing new people.

People like me who came here to escape the reddit bullshit of authoritarian power hungry mods and admins, insane censorship of anything right of "far left", and reinforcements of echo chambers through moderation, quickly found out that, if anything, Lemmy is already worse in some regards than reddit.

It appears that Twitter users are migrating to Bluesky, while simultaneously engaging with Reddit and Discord. Meanwhile, Reddit users are making their way to Lemmy or maybe not I exacly don't how but LEMMY IS GOING UPP.

Thank you for your service.

Also, thank you for asking. Yes, I'm increasing, and I'm eating more salads now to help prevent it, OK?
