I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

It's summer, a few active posters are busy with either kids or time off

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip has a weekly thread for active posters, it used to be more active in June

It's fine, people will probably come back in September

!

It's funny though, because someone else said activity spikes in the summer because kids are out of school.

I saw it, but I'm not sure it's correct as the graph in that comment shows a dip rather than a spike

Also, most of the kids today are mostly on Tiktok or Twitch rather than text-based forum, be it Reddit or Lemmy/Piefed

I doubt people on lemmy are below the age of 20, give or take.

Even 30 to be honest
