    I think we’re great where we’re at. Exponential growth for the sake of growth is not a good thing.

    We have a decent and varied user base with plenty of subject matter experts. We tend to upvote more than downvote. The app still needs to grow, find more security and discoverability, but it’s pretty pleasant where we are now.

    Those stats aren’t particularly distressing. We lost the .ml domains. Defederation happened. We had crapload of bot accounts created then dealt with.

    If DAU doesn’t flatten out by november, it might be a bad sign. At the moment I’d say it’s more likely that the graphs have a bunch of hidden data in them and it’s not just a clean and clear indication that people are fleeing.

    I’ll take 40,000, nice professional pleasant people over a million random redditors any day.

      Exactly. Seeing people fret over loss of users reminds me of corporate “always be growing” mindset.

      I’ve said this before, but I also have 5 or 6 accounts and I only use 2 now. The other ones are counted as lost users.

      Looks to me like lemmy.world still has lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml linked. I can see this post on All at least.
