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

Lurkers not counting probably has something to do with that.

That decline is slower than I expected. It shows that more people stay than not

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.

Being new to Mastodon and Lemmy I personally struggle to figure things out. Just finding a brief summary on how Lemmy works in contrast to reddit has, so far, yielded no helpful results. While I think for me this is just a matter of sticking with the services I can imagine that a lot of people would check in, struggle and check out again.

The, let's call it infrastructure, of Lemmy and the way registration works due to the fediverse is quite different to what most people are used to.

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.

It needs a solid app like Apollo was for Reddit to help it keep active users.

@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.. 🤷‍♂️

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

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

Number of active users slightly dips after exponential growth, surely the platform is dying, lets run around in circles and scream that the sky is falling.

Why don't we, instead, sacrifice u/spez to the gods, so they have mercy of us?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

I'm doing my part!

What are people saying to be calm for? Nobody way raising alarm
