Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

      It’s okay for it to die down a bit after a massive influx like we saw from Reddit.

      In the long run though, if it isn’t growing it’s dying. Lemmy is still small. If it succeeds at what it’s trying to do, it should definitely grow.

      It’s a little worrying that we can’t grow faster than the novelty-die-off rate. But not cause for alarm as yet.

      It’s a FOMO, bigger is better, kind of thing. I think some people came here looking for a replacement, which can’t happen, instead of looking for a community, which can.

        Bigger is better, that’s why I got a big truck on big wheels and only eat corndogs whole while enjoying it a little too much.

      I’m okay with it being smaller. I don’t think I want this to be Reddit-sized. I would like more users for sure but not that many.
