Man growth gets exponential... Let's wait for the 12th and the end of the month...
Thanks, reddit.
I made into lemmy.world before they shut down sign ups. I knew I needed to hurry and get on board for the rest of the pack! I'm happy I made it am excited to help this place grow into something fruitful for all of us.
i think this was a week ago. after the next 2-3 days, i'd expect the line to be twice the size and almost vertical.
Hopefully. It largely depends on how fast instances are able to scale up their infrastructure. There's three weeks before June 30th, so hopefully there's time to prepare for as many people's arrival as possible.
you're right about that. from what i gather about that state of affairs is that either current Lemmy instance admins will step up, or a new wave of higher-capacity Lemmy instances will appear and take over most traffic. Maybe a mix of both?
exciting times we live in....
Impressive. Still does not make a bump on the graph for the whole fediverse. But that will surely come.
Wow. Thats a great graph. Does any one have an interpretation for the bumps/ toothed pattern we see earlier in the plot?
Is that instances coming and going, or maybe testing of some kind?
it's activity, not user growth
Ah. That makes more sense. So those were media moments where it got a lot of attention maybe?
honestly, i'm new here, so i wasn't around during the dips. as such, I can't offer insight into that, but that spike at the end? Christian Selig, developer/former developer of Apollo - with his post about Reddit's API change - is personally responsible for that, lol. I mean... you could argue that Reddit's ownership is responsible for it, but that's just splitting hairs, I think.
edit: Christian, in no way, has sponsored (or to my knowledge even mentioned) Lemmy, it was just what sparked the Reddexit.
No, I don't recall any increase in activity then, it must be a glitch.
That looks like a glitch, I dont remember anything special happening at that time.
I've seen this post today showing users on each instance: https://beehaw.org/post/466182 It's not automated, but the op said they'd post updates too :)
that's amazing! - thanks!
