As always, you guys are way too fixated on size.
301 5 ReplyThing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.
78 3 ReplyMeh. Not like there are shareholders to appraise of growth…
46 0 ReplyHere too there are misconceptions!
What's important are the hard numbers, soft metrics like user count are misleading! Some may look large at first, but hardly grow with higher engagement, while in others engagement greatly increases the size.

12 1 ReplyWe’re not filtering for quality vs quantity at the moment, more people isn’t going to change anything for the worse there.

61 2 ReplyNot always
Lemmy still doesn’t create enough content that I want
But I try to use lemmy more anyways
Hopefully more people will use lemmy more
