    Is there a time-series plot version of this? I always have difficulty really absorbing the data when it is animated like that.

    Poked my head in to the AMA and it’s basically what I expected. To the surprise of no-one Spez is a tool and should go boil his ass.

    The numbers are still quite low compared to what the activity now feels like. Two weeks ago I could easily read all posts and comments and now I can’t follow the many new posts ^^

      I’m being a lot more active here than I was on Reddit. Trying to make sure it feels like a dynamic space for new redfugees :)

          I’m feeling the same way, but I suppose we’ll soon see.

          Even if the reddit exodus doesn’t turn into another internet legend, I am enjoying having fun participating in a forum for the first time in a long time. Probably since reddit stopped feeling like one in the early 2010s.

      If I remember my Lemmy history right (someone correct me)…

      In the early days of Lemmy, everyone was on one instance (lemmy.ml). The founding Lemmy developers (and their friends, I guess) were tankies. At some point they decided to make Lemmy more attractive to the general population, and make the flagship lemmy.ml less overtly Marxist-Leninist/offputting. So they split lemmy.ml into 2: lemmy.ml for non-commie stuff, and lemmygrad.ml for commie stuff. Since the bulk of Lemmy users in the early days were still tankies (or their friends), they were still generally using both instances very heavily.

      The day that lemmygrad.ml ceases to be the #2 instance and becomes just another niche-interest instance is the day we can say Lemmy has truly become mainstream, I think.

        I had to look up what a tankie was. Back in the day, we called them ‘pinkos’.

      What this doesn’t show is active users, just total. For quite some time we’ve been one of the most active large instances. I don’t remember the exact timing, but we’ve held the spot of 3rd most active for some time, we just now have total users to match that.
