    Was literally thinking as I read the headline “Ok… how did Lemmy’s numbers fluctuate after the initial burst?”

      We’re seeing the results of that right now. The reddit blackout was June 12-14, a month ago. We’re finding out how many people checked things out during that and left as the users / 6month and users / month start to separate.

          Same, I had made a mastodon account a few months back, so I played with that for a bit, then figured out lemmy. Just in the last 7 days, it feels like engagement has increased ten fold. I feel actually impactful here; which leads to more of my personal effort.

          The guilty pleasure I get to indulge in while watching corpo-reddit flail around is just icing.

          As a fellow Apollo refuge, check out wefwef/voyager. Really helps with the transition. Lemmy webapp heavily based on Apollo’s design.

      I’ve only seen the amount of comments and upvotes on posts increase. I don’t know what that says about numbers, but even a small user base with that kind of engagement is awesome.
