  Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

    Meh. Not like there are shareholders to appraise of growth…

      Here too there are misconceptions!

      What’s important are the hard numbers, soft metrics like user count are misleading! Some may look large at first, but hardly grow with higher engagement, while in others engagement greatly increases the size.

        True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.

  Lemmy alone creates more content that I care about. This is fine.

  • Sine_Fine_Belli@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Not always

    Lemmy still doesn’t create enough content that I want

    But I try to use lemmy more anyways

    Hopefully more people will use lemmy more

  It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean.

    Yeah, and let me tell you… Facebook’s motion does nothin for me, as big as it is…

    That’s true but it does take a long time to get to England in a row boat

  Yes. Quality is the key thing about fediverse. Also - size doesn’t mean everything. Black holes are small, but mighty. Lemmy sucks most of my spare time already.

    My take away from this is lemmy is so good it’s actually a gravitational singularity pretending to be a social network

  Yeah technique is really important too.
