The increase in monthly is just mainly replacing users leaving as the active 6 month seems to be going down the same rate as active monthly is going up. Am I reading that correctly?

Total users doesn't concern me too badly, as I'm more happy to see daily post and comment counts going up. I feel activity needs to be our focus rather than headcount. A packed stadium is kinda pointless if nobody is on stage putting on the show! 😁

Yeah. But the active 6 month is a lagging indicator because it tracks users who became inactive 6 months ago. While the increase in monthly active users is tracking users joining right now. If the increase of monthly active users is sustained for a few months, it'll reverse the 6 month trend as well.

Totally agree that it's ultimately about activity, but the reality is that we need more users to have more activity. I always took for granted the sheer scale of reddit until I joined Lemmy. It takes a massive number of people to sustain continuous 24/7 discussion about a wide variety of topics, which is ultimately what this kind of link aggregator/forum strives to do. And Lemmy users are already really active compared to redditors. There just aren't enough of us yet.

it was nice seeing some gardening stuff pop up in my feed the other day rather than just a constant stream of facebook tier memes and tankie vs non-tankie arguing

Hey, there's a lot of non tankies arguing with each other too.

You fool.

So many Mastodon server, crazy. The Lemmy experience is so much better than Mastodon, strange that this is the major draw. Is it because of Meta?

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 16 points 1 year ago

One works like a forum, the other is a microblogging platform. Definitely not the same userbase.

Mastodon is much older as a software. Lemmy is still under active development, we aren't even on version 1 yet

I would just guess it's because the Twitter-like format is more popular but that's because I forgot Threads was even a thing.

[-] Netrunner@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Still hang around both. But I've noticed I've had more to engage with on Lemmy lately, which is great.

As long as it doesn't become Reddit 2.0.
