Uh... that is looking exponential...
Quick, we need to get the /r/wallstreetbets folks in here to tell us how not to read it!
Did anyone create the !wallstreetbets community here yet?
Looks like somebody has, but no posts for 2 years lol
There was a picture of one instance's user count that was mostly a flat line until recently, now it looks like a right angle 😂. Can't remember if it was Beehaw or a different one though
Probably beehaw or lemmy.world, although a lot of instances are getting new users.
it'll probably plateau; saw similar during Twitter/Mastodon migration waves
Which is a shame. I hope more people see a reason to leave reddit.
Most people are apathetic to this sort of thing; they just want whatever content they are already getting. They'll use the official app or the web app as long as possible. Onboarding onto federated alternatives is also complicated for normies.
Doesn't change my own reasons for leaving though 🤷♀️
We shall see...
