    Numbers of posts, active servers and daily users have a mostly linear increase day to day but comments hence engagement have skyrocketed. It makes me think it’s mostly not bots

      Exactly. I don’t doubt there’s tons of bots, but regular people are coming as well to the degree that this platform is really beginning to feel alive.

      Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs… So not just bots

      Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There’s no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day

        I personally was able to go a week without reddit and just be a normal person. The need for a replacement grew. And lemmy has been picking up enough thy I feel like I can come here whenever I pick up my phone and have a decent chance of getting content for my dumb chronicly content addicted brain.

        So yeah. Probably a bunch of other people doing the same. I finally created an account yesterday after a bunch of days lurking.

        Half and half.

        Also, growth is exponential.

        Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.

    TBF that’s accounts across Lemmy, but still, the single instance Lemmy.world has been growing like crazy. It’s gonna be wild watching this place grow over the next few months and years.
