In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.
My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.
Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)
But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.
However… I’m just curious.
Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?
Its been at a pretty consistent 50k which means we retained 25% of the users from our peak. Its 37.5k at the moment with 1.8k on piefed. There is another 18k users once NodeBB federations integrates.
Its a decent little community, enough to be self sufficient and enough for new users to feel like they arent joining a ghost town.
Small enough to see the same few people on multiple threads and posts, large enough for a sense of activeness
How can one obtain these numbers? Is there like a statistics website?
fedidb.com is what I used. The UI used to be better its kinda ass now.
This is the sweet spot. After the initial teething pains but before the bigots and nazis take over.
The bigots and nazis are already quarantined at exploding heads thankfully
