In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I'm taking a break. I won't post anything or I'll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content ๐Ÿ˜ข?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However... I'm just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

Edit: I will still post stuff. I'll just post a lot less!

Iโ€™ve gained some weight since joining. Does that count?

not really, since the great purges in the spring thats where we had a huge boost, the shadowbans and sitewide ban seemed to have died down for now, although the SB are increasing in the background, we might see another increase if reddit does another major purge. although instances dying ive seen less content overall(especially with ee gone)

I would agree. And I'm spreading the word. We need to break our dependency on huge corporations. It's just laziness.

~~Nobody is recording long-term stats yet AFAIK~~, so you have to find a workaround. It seems the rest of Lemmy is growing relative to Hexbear, at least.

Edit: Nevermind, there are sites being linked here. It looks like by MAU it's more or less holding steady. Which maybe means Hexbear is dying from toxicity and infighting?
