It’s been a while since I last seen anyone posting graphs showing user base growth. Are we past the initial rush and bleeding numbers now?

    Slow organic growth is far better than explosives, unsustainable growth. We continue to provide content and actual authentic conversation and they will come.

      Yep, I also love the late 00s and early 10s feeling to Lemmy now. I find myself having more stuff done IRL since quitting reddit and browsing Lemmy occasionally.

      I came. And I agree. Anything that gets too popular too quickly just turns to shit. A huge influx of users who stuck around would have ended up turning this place into Reddit 2.0

      I don’t want this to be Reddit 2.0

        It very nearly did. I was noticing reddit like behavior during the july 1 period of lemmy. Thankfully it has subsided and the general civility of discourse has returned.

        Either that or it’s because I have blocked enough people already to weed out the assholes.

            I noticed a somewhat trend of reddit like replies, you know the usual one liner tired puns, never ending chain of them. The replies were aggressive and argumentative. Some comments straying from the topic of the post, in favor of making in jokes that were traceable to reddit it’s origin (obviously because majority came from reddit)

            Right now, there is less of that. Might be most people got tired and returned to reddit.
