Fediverse

Lurkers not counting probably has something to do with that.

Being new to Mastodon and Lemmy I personally struggle to figure things out. Just finding a brief summary on how Lemmy works in contrast to reddit has, so far, yielded no helpful results. While I think for me this is just a matter of sticking with the services I can imagine that a lot of people would check in, struggle and check out again.

The, let's call it infrastructure, of Lemmy and the way registration works due to the fediverse is quite different to what most people are used to.

It's because Reddit is still alive and well and Lemmy just doesn't offer enough to be a serious alternative (yet)

I feel like it's one small community instead of an interconnected larger one, unfortunately.

Still a massive increase compared to a few months ago.

The very gentle slope towards normalization is quite good, actually.

@LambLeeg I swear we have this this at least a copule or few months of someone getting anxious there's a sight dip of active user on the Fediverse and eventually it goes up again.

I woudn't worry too much about the graph and just try to vibe here instead.. 🤷‍♂️

I couldn't figure out how to log on here with my other Fediverse creds. Rather than, like, Google or something? I just created new accounts for each instance. I'd say it's a boon for anonymity, but I used the same username, soooo

Number of active users slightly dips after exponential growth, surely the platform is dying, lets run around in circles and scream that the sky is falling.

Just like a whale, scraping off barnacles, for greater speed and efficiency

What are people saying to be calm for? Nobody way raising alarm
