What happened on July 29th?
At first I thought it was Sync coming out, but it came out on August 2
This is surprising. Hopefully organic driven growth instead of bullshit statistics like threads and their stupidity.
Stonks!
I know a lot of communities are trying to get more popular by using bots to post relevant content. And generally they do a great job, its like an aggregator inside an aggregator. woa dude. Post engagement might be a better metric, but this graph is visually more impressive.
I'm not really enjoying the communities that use bots to create posts, considering I have to follow multiple variations of the community subject matter just in case. The engagement is definitely more important to me and what I'm missing most from reddit. It's building up though.
The only place where I wish there was a repost bot is the BestofUpdates community (can't remember the name). I crave those stories and don't care if it isn't a human porting them over to Lemmy
And a hearty F.U. to reddit
If RiF ports their app to Lemmy, have it as nearly functionally as it was on Reddit as possible while accommodating the ways lemmy is different, I think it would be a winner.
Want to see more people commenting on threads that have nothing to do with how well Lemmy is doing.
i'm seeing a lot more content here recently, which is why I keep coming back.
Ya I'm surprised it moved that fast but that's awesome, be sweet if it keeps up the momentum and gets as big as Reddit.
Daily users have almost halved in the last month. Guessing a purge of bots or something
I'm cool with that. The only bots should be the AutoMod ones to help weed out the bullshit.
Burn, reddit, burn.
