In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However… I’m just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

Edit: I will still post stuff. I’ll just post a lot less!

    not really, since the great purges in the spring thats where we had a huge boost, the shadowbans and sitewide ban seemed to have died down for now, although the SB are increasing in the background, we might see another increase if reddit does another major purge. although instances dying ive seen less content overall(especially with ee gone)

      One of the main things that drove me away from Reddit was the sense that they’re really pushing the buttons to hone it into a pure content creation service for AI bros and advertisers.

      That is to say, most subs do not want you just hanging out and chatting to people like they’re your friends. You have to generate content, and you have to do it in the approved sub format, and if you don’t like it you can fuck off. So, I fucked off.
