Numbers of posts, active servers and daily users have a mostly linear increase day to day but comments hence engagement have skyrocketed. It makes me think it’s mostly not bots
Exactly. I don’t doubt there’s tons of bots, but regular people are coming as well to the degree that this platform is really beginning to feel alive.
I read WAY more than I comment, and comment way more than I post. I imagine there’s a lot of people like me who are here, but are on the quiet side.
I also imagine comments increase exponentially once a critical mass of people have joined. Hard to comment without other people to talk to.
1 million so far…
That’s a lot of signups for one day… bot accounts?
Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs… So not just bots
Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There’s no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day
I personally was able to go a week without reddit and just be a normal person. The need for a replacement grew. And lemmy has been picking up enough thy I feel like I can come here whenever I pick up my phone and have a decent chance of getting content for my dumb chronicly content addicted brain.
So yeah. Probably a bunch of other people doing the same. I finally created an account yesterday after a bunch of days lurking.
Half and half.
Also, growth is exponential.
Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

@WhoRoger Let’s not forget the fact that Lemmy and Kbin are both connected to the broader Fediverse, thanks to the AcitivityPub protocol! In other words, might be 1 mill Lemmy-accounts, but many more mill potential users that could interact with the content even without Lemmy or Kbin! 😄
