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.

take my monthly comment

I couldn't figure out how to log on here with my other Fediverse creds. Rather than, like, Google or something? I just created new accounts for each instance. I'd say it's a boon for anonymity, but I used the same username, soooo

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

People on vacation in July and august too maybe ? Might have a slight rebound later

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.

What are people saying to be calm for? Nobody way raising alarm

At least there's something to do here. Mastodon almost always feels like a ghost town to me. I only really keep it on my home screen because I like the icon.

Still better at retaining its users than Threads.

Still waiting for the ability to block instances as a user.

Yeah cuz the shot is down constantly. I have 2 apps and one usually doesn't work.

A platform can always be improved, always. Lemmy is alpha software now and the growing problems we had in the beginning may have annoyed some users.

I think the most important thing is to keep making improvements to attract new users. I'm already finding the content infinitely better than it was a month ago.

Doing my part...

I will use Lemmy more when Sync will fix hiding posts. And no, I'm not gonna use "remove read"

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

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