Numbers of posts, active servers and daily users have a mostly linear increase day to day but comments hence engagement have skyrocketed. It makes me think it’s mostly not bots
Exactly. I don’t doubt there’s tons of bots, but regular people are coming as well to the degree that this platform is really beginning to feel alive.
I read WAY more than I comment, and comment way more than I post. I imagine there’s a lot of people like me who are here, but are on the quiet side.
I also imagine comments increase exponentially once a critical mass of people have joined. Hard to comment without other people to talk to.
That’s a lot of signups for one day… bot accounts?
Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There’s no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day
I personally was able to go a week without reddit and just be a normal person. The need for a replacement grew. And lemmy has been picking up enough thy I feel like I can come here whenever I pick up my phone and have a decent chance of getting content for my dumb chronicly content addicted brain.
So yeah. Probably a bunch of other people doing the same. I finally created an account yesterday after a bunch of days lurking.
Half and half.
Also, growth is exponential.
Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs… So not just bots
1 million so far…
Attack of the bots
@WhoRoger Let’s not forget the fact that Lemmy and Kbin are both connected to the broader Fediverse, thanks to the AcitivityPub protocol! In other words, might be 1 mill Lemmy-accounts, but many more mill potential users that could interact with the content even without Lemmy or Kbin! 😄
TBF that’s accounts across Lemmy, but still, the single instance Lemmy.world has been growing like crazy. It’s gonna be wild watching this place grow over the next few months and years.
I’m doing my part! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_7FaWnlhS4
Seems like bots… but I hope not.

Number of comments have increased way more than the number of posts/users per day. So I have hope
dont do that. dont give me hope
I try to comment as much as I can just to increase activity for now. Anytime I feel I can add just a little bit of insight or discussion I comment rather than not even if it’s not substantial. Like this comment, for example lol
