    Lemmy is bleeding users, but post and comment count is still growing. I think the multi account migrations have settled down and people are getting used to the new UI.

      If you’re basing that off solely on the fediverse observer, that may be false. The “Average comments by day” graph is pretty misleading, since it actually shows all the comments that was made on Lemmy on each day. How do you perceive the density of the comments in practice?

        I’m sorry, I don’t follow. Don’t all the comments made that day show an increase?

        I think it’s great compared to what it used to be and just under what I’d like it to be. It’s very subjective, but I think that was the question.

          That’s correct and that is why it’s misleading. The numbers are way too high to assume it refers to the daily comments only.

          Yeah it’s pretty good, although I would like a bit more convo on nicher posts, but it’s already amazing how active the Lemmy community is compared to it’s userbase size.

            Fair enough, I see your point now. I wonder if that’s a flaw in the observer, bots or stat manipulation.
