  But posts are rising, and comments stable… I think the story is more nuanced than that

  I mean, the graph doesn’t fo a good job of showing it, but it looks like there are around 50% more users now compared to June.

    Prior to June 2023, Lemmy was holding steady around 1,000 monthly active account. So it’s still up more than 30x from that baseline.

    Since this graph shows active accounts and not active users, I’ll bet a significant contributor to the drop is people not using all the alt accounts they initially created.

    No, it means that there was a peak of user activity in June which is not being sustained.

      That peak was never going to be sustained though. We’re approaching the “stick around” number which is good to know.

        Why did it had to be a peak, though? We are talking about a time where “major” protests were being taken against a platform with more than 400 million monthly active users. Taking only 100k as the “peak” is already pathetic, now you are telling me that we should be happy to keep a third of that?

  That's completely normal for literally any new platform. You saw the same thing with Threads, down to the hordes of people proclaiming it dead after the initial wave of interest calmed down.

  That’s just the chaff separating from the wheat
