Looks like the rate of decline is slowing. I bet it starts trending the other direction soon.

What do you think the local minimum will be? 30k? 35k?
OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 11 months ago
So every month is higher than the month 6 months prior, that seems pretty good. Obviously won’t be true 6 months after that July but certainly speaks to the community that has grown here and remained here.

The Fediverse is DYING! Everyone panic NOW!

You won't believe these Lenny alternatives, number 5 will kill your entire family in shock.

Too many armchair lefties here.
COME TO SOUTH AMERICA FOR A WHILE BEFORE YOU THINK FAKE COMUNISM = GOOD.
MenKlash@kbin.social 11 months ago
I'd prefer the term statism, but I agree with you.
DarkThoughts@kbin.social 11 months ago
It gets better if you block Lemmy.ml. It's really just Lemmygrad pretending to be more moderate, and failing horribly.
federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 11 months ago
communism is a classless stateless moneyless society. which part of South America has that?
JustMy2c@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Comunism is a good idea
But attracts badddd leaders. On Every level.
Who had that? EVERY SINGLE (NON WESTERN) COUNTRY THAT HAS EVER EVEN let the narco dictators get votes. Cuba venezuela argentina ecuador, loads of Latin American ones. ALL FCKED BECAUSE OF FRAUDULENT TANKIE CARREER POLITICIANS

What is considered as active ? Is someone connecting to his account and lurking considered active ? Or, someone who just up/downvote without commenting or posting ?
link@lemy.lol 11 months ago
Users who posts or comments. I’m not sure about votes tho 🤔
freamon@endlesstalk.org 11 months ago
programming.dev changed how active users are calculated on their instance to include voters as well as posters & commentators. It’s a massive difference - programming_humor went from about 700 monthly active users to about 7000, for example.
Viewing communities from other instances from programming.dev’s perspective will give a figure that includes voting activity.

Definitely would be a more accurate representation of “active” IMO

How many are bots

Ooof
nickhammes@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But posts are rising, and comments stable… I think the story is more nuanced than that
DoYouNot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
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.
rglullis@communick.news 11 months ago
No, it means that there was a peak of user activity in June which is not being sustained.
BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 11 months ago
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
