    Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

      The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.

        This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

      Hey! Some of those posts with no comments are me posting pictures of cute bugs that I took! I’m not a bot, I’m just not very interesting.

      Well the same page lists comments per day for the same period as 11,083,555. A ratio of 5.27 comments per post seems fine.

        Yeah, a ratio means nothing if the bulk of the comments are only on a small portion of the posts. If 90% of the posts have 0 comments and the other 10% have 52.7 comments per post, that’s worth knowing.

    So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

      Could you please tell me where I could read more about the reddit situation having been stabilized?

      It seems that. 1) Cumulative graph is removed, because cumulative doesn’t make sense. There is an average graph though. Average Lemmy Posts by Day… 2) In just a single day the numbers of this new average graph exploded… that can’t be right… 3) What about all the spam posts!??

    All I’m missing is the more niche communities to grow. It’s good to see lots of memes and engagement but a man needs more.

    I bit the bullet after I read there the Sync app was released. Now I’m lurking until I find the communities I love best… and it feels like they’re already starting to spring up. If I had the time to, I’d make and mod them myself.

    Very good, I hope this platform has a bright future. We really need more like this, out of the control of giant companies.

    At the same time, I hope they will develop more features to make it harder for content to disappear if an instance every goes down and for users to migrate their accounts.

    I wonder how the graph will look in a month’s time now that Sync is in open beta.

      As someone who never used Sync before, trust me, it will spike like crazy. I don’t know why I never used it before but this an amazing experience. If you’re reading this and trying to find a Lemmy app to use and don’t care about FOSS, get Sync ASAP

    185 comments are mine! :)

    And 7 posts…

    To the moon!

    Also think about how many more lurkers there are. There are many more lurkers than people making posts and comments.

    I’m here after a decade or so of lurking on reddit, might not post much but will try and comment and engage more than I did before. So far it’s nice here, hope it keeps growing!
    Happy to be a Lemming
