Users about halved in the ~3 months after the initial exile. It's increased since then, but not yet to the point that it was at during the initial exodus.
Where the number at? I want to see for myself.
This is so depressing. I thought this was gonna be a cool little bubble. The bubble just pops... :(
I look at the reddit front page and everyone one in the comments are saying the posts on reddit are bot activity, which, at this point, I don't doubt. Internet is dead. :(
It was an utter disaster in those first few months. I stuck it out only out of sheer stubbornness in not going back to Reddit. Lemmy.world was always down, federation was borked, it was just not ready for the big-time. Just what happens when your userbase balloons 30x inside of a month. Now we're in a much better position to absorb new waves. The big thing is trying to get niche communities started on here - a bit of a arduous task. The mainstream communities are all pretty active at this point! And anything about Linux.
And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it's a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.
I'm not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for "early morning" US browsing or "after work" EU browsing, your post would do well.
Idk lemmy's demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it's hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.
