Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again
-
Cue the 'too the moon' rocket but with the btc logo removed and the Fediverse icon added.
-
Yes, back then you had to comment or post. These days it also counts users who vote within the timeframe as active users.

Counter-point: he won the race by being the fastest runner. But I grant you it took him awhile to decide to run the race relative to average life spans and the likely typical marathon runner, so we can just call it a draw.

Seriously though, I’ll scroll for hours at a time. Some of my favorite online communities ever are here on lemmy. What we’re building here is awesome.
It’s not uncanny to the point of having a full community for every game, hobby, and random concept that’s ever crossed someones mind. But honestly after seeing the internet evolve over the years I’m kind of over the idea of trying to cram everything into one giant website. Fedi is particularly awesome for that of course, moreso than ever now with loops and pixelfed doing so well

That's true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn't post or comment.
But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we've seen some really nice organic growth, although it's not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it's really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.

Wonder what happened in ~June of 2024. Summer signups?

Hey!

Thank you for doing your part in getting the ball rolling!

On Lemmy, two's a crowd (or a flamewar).

Thank your for your service.
Building a community takes work. Let's hope this one is more resilient to corpo-lobotomy than Reddit, Digg and Slashdot. -
It was our evolutionary success as a human animal. We were never the fastest, strongest or even the most numerous at the start. But working slowly as a cooperative community, we conquered every liveable space on the planet. We can do the same online.

lmao posting in communtities from my different accounts (not to the same communities, like alts for keeping notifcations on topics seperate) to help build up my future lurking places
-
I’ve probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO
Same. On topics on than Romeposting(tm) I'd love to go back to being a lurker and only an occasional contributor. I imagine it'll be a while before that day comes, though.
