Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

This is normal. We've gotten a big enough surge where we have consistent content now. Lemmy was a bit rough when the migration started, but hopefully improvements will go a lot faster now. We're definitely missing a lot of core features and polish still. But Lemmy is a long term social network that is grass roots. All we need to worry about is creating a sustainable community now, and polish up the experience to newcomers so we can sustain the next exodus and be more of a viable platform.

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.

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

Lurkers not counting probably has something to do with that.

@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.. 🤷‍♂️

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

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

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

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

You dont login you accses this via you home instance

As of right now you can't access the "front page" of each instance, so that would be a valid reason to retain several accounts (among many other perfectly valid reasons).

How you go to different servers is just by subscribing or following a link to a community hosted on another server. So [email protected] is hosted on lemmy.ca instead of lemmy.world, but if you follow it on a web browser you might notice it takes you to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

this way you haven't "left" lemmy.world, lemmy.ca has no access to your credentials but you can make a post or comment there which is shared with lemmy.ca who posts it for everyone who connects to lemmy.ca to see.

Still better at retaining its users than Threads.
