    Are these real stats? Or just a directional commentary that Lemmy is growing? If they are real, where can we see these?

    Lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world does not immediately imply credibility.

      Real. But no cause for concern. Lemmy experienced a massive, 20-plus-fold increase in userbase almost overnight. The small dip is most likely just the new users settling in and starting to lurk. The recent bot purges probably helped a bit in causing the dip. In any case, it would probably be weirder if we didn’t see a dip after such a massive flood of new users

      Edit: also, the website to check is the-federation.info

        Also: hockey-stick growth rates are unsustainable. Attempts to force it lead to toxic and extractive environments.

          B-b-b-but infinite growth is always possible and sustainable! We just have to do everything we can to maximize profits!
