    In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

    My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

    Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)

    But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

    However... I'm just curious.

    Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

    Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!

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

        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 🙂

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

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

              I wonder how much of that decrease is a result of instances shutting down and their users migrating off of Lemmy to platforms like PieFed and others. The users may not be completely gone, just not on Lemmy.

                  Piefed helped a number of communities reparent to their homeserver as-is when lemm.ee closed down, definitely a valid theory. [email protected] community final posts if you're keen to farm data.

                        PieFed MAUs increased by 400% though - when lemm.ee went down a LOT of people abandoned Lemmy in favor of PieFed.

                          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.

                              I finally switched to PieFed now that Voyager has more or less stable support for it. Fuck the Lemmy tankie devs

                                I don't even know what is fundamentally different between Lemmy and Piefed aside from Piefed's web interface. AFAIK, they're basically the same thing but Lemmy is primarily developed by a harmful douche. 🫤

                                Is there any reason beside that to choose one or the other?

                                  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.

                                    Yep on reddit I'd just end up scrolling for ages. Here I actually have conversations with people, you get to know people which I really like.

                                        PieFed MAUs increased by 400%.

                                          In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

                                          My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

                                          Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)

                                          But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

                                          However... I'm just curious.

                                          Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

                                          Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!

                                          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.
