Is lemmy growth coming to a halt? (lemmy.world)

Lemmy world was growing at a decent pace leading up to July 1st, then had a big influx following the API deadline. However the last week in particular has seen a decline.

Engagement still appears to be the same, although a little lower than the start of the month. A few of the other instances i have been checking follow a similar pattern.

Do you think we will continue growing at a steady pace, or do we need another big trigger to get users to migrate? For Mastodon, it seems there's a big trigger every other week to drive users away from Twitter, but with Reddit, the revolt seems to have quietened down considerably.

Yes, those meme communities are very active and drown other posts from other communities. Unsubscribing them drastically improve my experience. I can sort by New now and see Posts from communities I subscribed to. And unlike Reddit, new posts got pretty good engagements here, perhaps because other people browse by New too.

"very active" meaning nonstop reposts of last year's top reddit memes by bots or humans acting like bots

It's fine, memes also have their audience. I also blocked all of the communities, but to each their own

It's what filters are for. Don't complain - configure.

I don't care what your argument is.

Ok so yeah you did skip it. I said I filtered those communities but thanks for the "advice"

Now please kindly take that high horse elsewhere, it's stinking up the thread
