    Ehhhhhhhhhh… Considering activity was on a slow decline Sept-Dec (not counting August->Sept due to i-think bot-spam issues in the count)

    The numbers didn’t really grow until the method to count active users was modified. We won’t know the impacts of growth/decline for another 2-3 months at least.

      Yeah it’s weird to act like people were being unreasonable for pointing out that Lemmy was on a decline when the numbers quite literally showed a decline.

      And it’s worth noting, no matter what the numbers say, the if users come here and it doesn’t feel as active as the numbers suggest, that’s still an issue.

        doesn’t feel as active as the numbers suggest, that’s still an issue.

        worth noting to those people who will read this and go: “I should browse /All and post nonsense everywhere to boost activity!”, please don’t. A community with a bunch of uninformed discussion is just as dead as a community with no comments.
