    Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

      Well the same page lists comments per day for the same period as 11,083,555. A ratio of 5.27 comments per post seems fine.

        Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

      The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.

        This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

      Hey! Some of those posts with no comments are me posting pictures of cute bugs that I took! I’m not a bot, I’m just not very interesting.

    What happened on July 29th?

    At first I thought it was Sync coming out, but it came out on August 2

        Dang, phtn.app is nicer than vger.app on desktop! How do “apps” like this work as far as privacy goes? Are you storing user logins/passwords? Or is it “passed though”?

          The client doesn’t store passwords at all, but the client does store your token in localStorage (it’s necessary so that we can make authenticated requests). The only way your account could get hacked is if they gain access to your browser and look through localStorage. If they have access to your computer, you have other problems though. If they do gain access, you can invalidate the JWT by changing your password.

      It seems that. 1) Cumulative graph is removed, because cumulative doesn’t make sense. There is an average graph though. Average Lemmy Posts by Day… 2) In just a single day the numbers of this new average graph exploded… that can’t be right… 3) What about all the spam posts!??

    I’m here after a decade or so of lurking on reddit, might not post much but will try and comment and engage more than I did before. So far it’s nice here, hope it keeps growing!
    Happy to be a Lemming

      Hopefully downvotes will never mean anything else than a number, since being a non leftist on Lemmy is though… Kinds makes me not want to participate.

        Why do you care about downvotes? You sharing your opinion and perspective is what makes the platform better. Other people clicking an arrow means nothing :)

          No idea, guess some psychological effect. It’s dumb, but that’s how I feel about it.

    All I’m missing is the more niche communities to grow. It’s good to see lots of memes and engagement but a man needs more.

        I approve reposter bots tho. More specifically I also made a bot to repost some content from niche subreddits to here.

    I know a lot of communities are trying to get more popular by using bots to post relevant content. And generally they do a great job, its like an aggregator inside an aggregator. woa dude. Post engagement might be a better metric, but this graph is visually more impressive.

    185 comments are mine! :)

    And 7 posts…

    To the moon!

    Also think about how many more lurkers there are. There are many more lurkers than people making posts and comments.
