      Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

          Here too there are misconceptions!

          What’s important are the hard numbers, soft metrics like user count are misleading! Some may look large at first, but hardly grow with higher engagement, while in others engagement greatly increases the size.

            True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.

              We’re not filtering for quality vs quantity at the moment, more people isn’t going to change anything for the worse there.

                True, it’s not at all stage where it’s likely to be a problem. The army of very old persons isn’t at the door just yet ;-)

                Same for me. I started to chit chat a bit here and there just to have some more activity but I miss a community I like to be part of.

        Not always

        Lemmy still doesn’t create enough content that I want

        But I try to use lemmy more anyways

        Hopefully more people will use lemmy more

      It’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion of the ocean.

      Yes. Quality is the key thing about fediverse. Also - size doesn’t mean everything. Black holes are small, but mighty. Lemmy sucks most of my spare time already.

        My take away from this is lemmy is so good it’s actually a gravitational singularity pretending to be a social network
