    I honestly was worried about our growth maybe 3 weeks ago… It seemed there was a boom and then sort of an exhale after that initial rush in early June. However I’m subbed to about 130 communities. My feed is nice and busy where I couldn’t even chance to see all the content. I can look through my sub list (LemmyTools addon plug) and catch up on some comms I missed in my feed. It’s going great now as we are seeing steadily more upvoted posts (in the ks) now. Memes are off the charts. Tech and News seems to be hot. Im not super stitious well, maybe a little situous but I think things are going well and seeing a good base here form.

    There will need to be some sort of stale/abandoned community cleanup or filter eventually though.

        Totally, I actually feel we are already passed that concern. I am seeing a pretty established base forming now. I think we screw to a certain demographic but that is OK by me. I for one am tired of all tired of corporate social media crap. So I’ll be here or somewhere like it but lemmy is a very viable platform already

    Are these real stats? Or just a directional commentary that Lemmy is growing? If they are real, where can we see these?

    Lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world does not immediately imply credibility.

      Real. But no cause for concern. Lemmy experienced a massive, 20-plus-fold increase in userbase almost overnight. The small dip is most likely just the new users settling in and starting to lurk. The recent bot purges probably helped a bit in causing the dip. In any case, it would probably be weirder if we didn’t see a dip after such a massive flood of new users

      Edit: also, the website to check is the-federation.info

        Also: hockey-stick growth rates are unsustainable. Attempts to force it lead to toxic and extractive environments.

          B-b-b-but infinite growth is always possible and sustainable! We just have to do everything we can to maximize profits!

    I think the moment a decent app becomes available, or Spez does something else fucking stupid, active users are gonna skyrocket again.

      Our role now is to continue making this a viable alternative. We must walk so they can run (away from Reddit)

      💯 Lemmy is self-sustaining now, and the programmers/server admins are getting experience with scaling. IMO Lemmy is now open for business to steal users every time Reddit does something shitty. I’d say spez should be worried, but he probably doesn’t actually care past the pump&dump IPO and if Reddit becomes a ghost town after that he’ll have already rode off into the sunset.

      what would spez have to do? he just made a bunch of the users lose money by removing/expiring coins.

    Might have something to do with everyone getting logged out of their accounts after the hack. I have been browsing but not logged in until just now

      I was just thrown error pages when trying to load lemmy throughout the day earlier today and this is my second attempt to reply to your comment here as it would not let me post comments on Jerboa and I’m now trying it in a web browser.

      Edit: Success!

    Honestly I don’t know why it isn’t more popular, to me the whole setup is just so perfect I love it!
