...is this for real? I don't want to check, but I also can't tell if this is a joke.

Tbh not a chance

Likewise

I've literally posted over 3k comments and over 300 posts since moving over here

I've been busy over here lol

Same here dude I've posted ridiculous amounts on [email protected] and did a highlight by highlight match thread on [email protected] once. That last one was painful af.

I recognize your name and appreciate your efforts, fam!

I’ve probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO

Same. On topics on than Romeposting(tm) I'd love to go back to being a lurker and only an occasional contributor. I imagine it'll be a while before that day comes, though.

lmao posting in communtities from my different accounts (not to the same communities, like alts for keeping notifcations on topics seperate) to help build up my future lurking places

Thank your for your service. 🙏 Building a community takes work. Let's hope this one is more resilient to corpo-lobotomize than Reddit, Digg and Slashdot.

Thank you for doing your part in getting the ball rolling!

That's true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn't post or comment.

But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we've seen some really nice organic growth, although it's not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it's really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.

Yes, back then you had to comment or post. These days it also counts users who vote within the timeframe as active users.

Alternatively, https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats is still up

Nice graph

Wonder what happened in ~June of 2024. Summer signups?

Thank you for providing this informative graph! I will be saving it for future use.

That’s great to see we’re spiking a bit recently just not as much as the days of the Reddit api shutdown situation.

You could use this graph to investigate the incidents that have occurred with the user spikes.
