Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users
Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source
You're viewing a single thread.
For some the novelty of lemmy dropped pretty quickly. Most reddit users which make up a huge chunk of lemmy users would go days if not, weeks without commenting or posting. You kinda have to factor in that a lot of people are lemmy lurkers that will comment or post once they find something that interests them.
Also in my case I made several alts in the beginning (because I couldn't decide on an instance and I like to have backups for when an instance is down).
Other users probably did the same, which results in a bunch of inactive accounts.
I have accounts on 5 different instances.
I pretty much only use two of them. A third one sees occasional use when sh.itjust.works is having problems, but that's about it.

That's me. I never interacted much on Reddit, so I'm trying to get in the habit of doing so now.
