We're seeing an increase from 53k active users at the beginning of July to 72k active users at the time of this post.

According to Lemmy's documentation, an active user is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Lurkers aren't considered active users, so basically these are content creators on Lemmy.

I used to have a high barrier of thought prior to posting but now I just post whatever bullshit is on my mind at that moment just so I can keep threads active. Like I'm doing now

I had a mindset that I had nothing of value to contribute to the conversation. On here, I type out what I would have at Reddit, but I was just wrong. I get plenty of people who engage with me.

On reddit I always had the feeling that someone else had already made my point for me. Here I find myself submitting all those comments and posts that I just deleted halfway through before.

Ditto that.

And the frustration that comes of that isn’t so much “I didn’t get to make a point, for which I lost the opportunity to receive credit” but more “I didn’t get to engage with the discussion in realtime without having a sense for how others would react, appreciate, or challenge my views”. Reading things afterward has that line of discussion set in stone in a way that’s unlike being a participant.
