How is the size of Lemmy’s userbase changing? Is it growing or shrinking? How diverse is it? What do the current trendlines look like as we approach a year since Rexxit?
I feel like I used to see graphs on this sub fairly regularly, but haven’t seen one recently. There was also some ambiguity in the numbers as commenting and voting were added to the active user totals. Now that most (all?) instances have switched to 0.19, do we have a better idea of where things stand?
Aside from sticking around and posting, commenting, and voting, is there anything users should be doing to help grow the platform? (!lemmygrow would be a good name for a sublemmy, if anyone wanted to organize something)
In any case, thanks to everyone who has helped grow Lemmy to its current size!

Yeah, from the graphs above you can see that the number of monthly comments is growing, such is the main thing I suppose
Honestly, we don’t need content creators as long as we have good convos, like an actual forum.

Yeah, the uptick in comments is definitely an encouraging thing. Makes the whole place feel more populated and less like a ghost town.
The sputters have mostly been when reddit fucks up. The first big one was their API ban. The next was when they were going public.
