I saw some stats on this months ago, especially after the initial explosion. I’m curious if the growth is still continuing at a good pace and also how everyone feels about the growth/activity within their communities.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but it looks grim. Downward trends all around
In another situation, it would be grim, but having that downwards tendency right after a hype peak (Jul/2023, or
Reddigg v4the APIcalypse) is expected - plenty users who’d come with the hype would go back, and plenty instance owners would realise that running an instance is way more work than they planned.Yeah, we had a massive inrush of people when the Reddit API thing happened. Things are settling since. I think (I don’t know the exact metrics) it’s been lots of inactive users anyways, because I can’t feel activity decline in general.
Tbh it’s the reason I asked. I expected results to look about like this but I’m really interested in the graphs of posts vs active users.
Posting has exploded. I assume a good portion of that is bots. Bots posting news or reposting memes probably. However, a good portion of that must be users posting as well right?
I don’t think that retaining about half of the users that joined in the massive wave is bad actually, it’s the trends that come next where we see what happens. If that line keeps going down for the rest of the year, the platform is probably in trouble.
