Ugh, that's sooo annoying! I hope the content improves soon. If we work hard at it we can finally make it close to 100% beans by October.
The other half is how many accounts/posts/users Lemmy has
Is this a waterfall total cumulative posts or is this unique posted per day? It looks like overall total
The title suggests per day to me but the graph I'm quite sure is cumulative based on other data
There are dips
Cumulative would imply monotonously non-decreasing.
There are dips in the curve, so can’t be cumulative.
The only dips i see are recent and its so tiny its hard to see. It could be from people erasing their posts or people getting their posts banned and removong from overall total
There are dips in the curve, so can’t be cumulative.
that's weak argument - this isn't calculus class, it is real world data. real world data have inaccuracies, some post might have been deleted or otherwise unaccounted for, or something else might have happened.
pretty sure it is cumulative - 1 million posts per day would be totally absurd number

Does this include bot-posts like from lemmit.online? I feel like these would skew the numbers quite a bit.
II think the same. He should be filtered.
Good stuff! Glad to see it’s still increasing now after Reddit’s pulled the plug on 3rd party apps and protests have quieted down.
We should hope there’s a growth that goes hand to hand with quality. Ad maiora, Lemmy!
… and it deserves so much more.
