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

    For some the novelty of lemmy dropped pretty quickly. Most reddit users which make up a huge chunk of lemmy users would go days if not, weeks without commenting or posting. You kinda have to factor in that a lot of people are lemmy lurkers that will comment or post once they find something that interests them.

      Also in my case I made several alts in the beginning (because I couldn’t decide on an instance and I like to have backups for when an instance is down).

      Other users probably did the same, which results in a bunch of inactive accounts.

        I have accounts on 5 different instances.

        I pretty much only use two of them. A third one sees occasional use when sh.itjust.works is having problems, but that’s about it.

      That’s me. I never interacted much on Reddit, so I’m trying to get in the habit of doing so now.
