It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren’t attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we’ll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

    These numbers are not descriptive. Check out the daily stats.

    • Active users per day has already stabilised.
    • Active users half year is still climbing so we have people coming in.
    • Shitposts per day are growing exponentially.
    • People are still leaving from the Reddit influx. Lemmy just wasn’t for them.

      Active users half year is still climbing so we have people coming in.

      If people were coming in, shouldn’t the monthly active users increase as well?

      If the MAU is decreasing, it means that we are losing more people than people joining. On your graph, the MAU trend is clearly decreasing.

      Maybe I’m missing something?

        People are going out faster than they’re coming in.

        New accounts are being created.

        How many of those new accounts are people shuffling between different identities and interests? This account is for the music stuff I follow, this is my meme account, this is my serious stuff account…

        How much of that is also the people leaving lemmy.world when they were having stability problems?
