Rant - it's always frustrating to see people considering 38k monthly active users as "no users" (piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)

I agree, however we are currently shrinking not growing

    Where can you monitor it?

    Comments have been rising but users decreasing, could this be that people have settled to one account or that bots have made more comments?

    Also the wave of speculative users and tourists who were only ever going to just check it out has died down while the actually invested users have settled more in.

    It's not about how many people are here, it's about how engaged those who stay are.

    True, I think as long as the comments are not from bots it’s looking fine. And I haven’t noticed anything like that here.

    I have no doubt there is some small level of bot and other bad actor infiltration here on Lemmy too, but the big difference is there's no incentive for any sort of authority to quietly endorse said bad actors. To me the difference is that while the reddit community hates bots, Reddit loves bots. We are the community here, for the most part, so the dichotomy doesn't exist.

    It would be nice to know the ratio of users/bots in X, Reddit, Facebook, ... and the Fediverse. I'm pretty sure we would be surprised.

    Someone mentioned nodeBB in the Reddit thread: https://nodebb.fediverse.observer/stats&months=24

    The numbers seem odd, @1@activitypub.space do you think they are accurate?
