I’ve noticed it on all social media sites; this desire to talk down about the other platforms and reinforce why yours is the best. Which in part, I get it. If you really liked Twitter you wouldn’t necessarily be hanging out here, but these articles are definitely weird. It’s like following your ex just so you can tell yourself you’re better off now.
Me too, I looked around but it doesn’t seem like lemmy tracks that metric, or if they do they haven’t released it, the best I found was a posts per hour graph from 2 months ago.
Isn’t half still like 50 million users? It’s not nothing
Yeah, I don’t get these articles. Most users don’t stick around on a platform, but if enough do and form a critical mass, it’ll succeed.
like lemmy! right! right?
Kinda. Lemmy doesn’t have anywhere near 50 million users, but the thousands we do have is enough to keep the community churning away.

I am here for it!

Engagement is down to 6 minutes per user per day down from 21 minutes at launch.
I wonder what Lemmy is…
I am definitely bumping that stat up singlehandedly by an unhealthy amount.

Username checks out ^(sorry for the redditism 🙈)
Lemmy isn’t here to sell ads so I hope we never have to find out.
