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
I used to lurk like crazy on reddit. I had a nearly 12 year old account that mainly had a few comments here and there months apart, and only a few posts but ever since moving to Lemmy I've found myself actually posting relatively frequently to help build some of the smaller communities I'm in that have also migrated.
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.
How about the current situation? These numbers are soon a year old!
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!??
Any reason to come back to this 5 months old post? Genuinely asking if something changed on that topic 😄
The thread itself is actually already 1 year old. Well, look at the screens above. Somebody asked for a follow-up, so I gave a follow-up of both the average posts by day for Lemmy as well as Mbin... The trend is still up.
Time for another follow up!
Sure! Just one problem the title is saying "Total Mbin Posts by Month".. but it doesn't look like a total, but more like an average? Disclaimer: I don't know how reliable this source is.

I also notice a decline in servers of both Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats server as well as Mbin servers. Lemmy peaked around 1396 servers and is now down to 370 (73.4% decrease). Mbin peaked around 26 and is down to 15 (42% decrease). I can't give you an answer why there is a decrease in servers in the threadiverse realm..
Even outside of the threadiverse there is a downtrend going on with Mastodon. Peak of 11773 down to 7666 (34.8% decrease).
Indeed, but they asked 5 months ago, which is why I was curious about your comment now
I didn't saw it earlier.. :P
No worries 😄
And.. for the Mbin users out there. Here is the same average posts by day, but on the Mbin platform.
Man, I really hope more traffic starts heading into some of the more niche communities because getting a new thread every day or there and getting 1 or 2 replies - if that - is not how you sustain a site.
Are there really that few people into cars or engineering or DIY stuff on Lemmy?! Where the fuck are my fellow car and tinkering nerds at? And no one does projects around the house? So few posts in some of the home owner communities as well.
I wonder how the graph will look in a month's time now that Sync is in open beta.
I came for the first time back in 6/18/23 and im still coming now!
