Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users - eviltoast

Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

    I think I am on shitjustworks… i don’t know how big my instance is I just chose it because it has a cool name.

    It has gone down a few times and at first my reaction was to go to is it down dot com to see if the problem was with my app… but then I had the realization that ohhhh, it’s just my home server is down… I thought about making a separate account on another instance but instead just decided to do something else with those few minutes I would have spent here….

    No big deal…. It’s happened a few times in the couple months I’ve been here, but it always works eventually… I really like this platform, and the philosophy behind it, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to understand all the inner workings and how the instances work together, but I don’t feel like I need to.

    But I can see how people who understand it even less than I do might get frustrated and so that is going to be a limiting factor with new growth here I would assume…
