What caused that spike around October 2022?
Man, this reddit BS is getting to me. First thing I thought of when I read your comment was, "what happened in reddit last October?" ๐

I just hope that it will be more distributed than Matrix and not everyone registers on lemmy.ml (matrix.org in case of matrix) so the decentralization works for real here instead of 90% (exaggerating, don't know the numbers) of the user base sitting on one instance :)
with how much .ml is struggling to handle the load I would've expected even more to pick different instances, though the situation seems better than how mastodon.social was during the twitter migration
the upcoming centralization issue sounds like it'll be the communities themselves all being hosted on .ml, not accounts. can't want to see how that one is gonna play out

Whilst Iโm somewhat sad to be here (Reddit has eaten up a significant portion of my time over the past 10+ years), Iโm happy to be learning new things and exploring a new way of doing things.
I honestly thought this would reduce my screen time as Reddit is on the top of the list. But here I am at Lemmy lol.
Guys, what are you on about.
It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.
Don't you see it?

That user does have a point. The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.
Though there is something to be said for the selection of people that get filtered out. While I appreciate large communities because of the variety of view points available, the quality increasing due to a barrier of entry has advantages too.
As a side note, thanks for writing up guides for people!

Lemmy go brrrrr
Iโm super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!
it's cool
Ya love to see it.
As a newbie, I hope the software can catch up to the needs quickly.
I think we really need to address the scaling issue, one option could be to use clichhouse instead of postgres

I'm happy for users to join the federated alternative!
I'm not new to Lemmy, I've hung around here on and off a couple times. My biggest complaint about it for a long time was that many of the subs I was interested in were just dead or didnt exist on lemmy. With the new influx of users, I imagine that's going to change, even if it does take a couple more years.
The future of Lemmy is looking very promising :)
Honestly this platform is welcoming & people are dignified through conversations. Also informative.
Hell yeah brother
Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.

Joined Lemmy because of permanent suspension from the Snoosite for harassment, which I clearly didn't commit at that time.

A nice website for looking for servers, platforms, and user numbers over time is: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Also handy for getting a picture of how many lemmy servers there are and how big they are.
