Lemmy just reached a new milestone: 1 million posts, across 1,323 servers.
Is this a waterfall total cumulative posts or is this unique posted per day? It looks like overall total
Cumulative would imply monotonously non-decreasing.
There are dips in the curve, so can’t be cumulative.

that’s weak argument - this isn’t calculus class, it is real world data. real world data have inaccuracies, some post might have been deleted or otherwise unaccounted for, or something else might have happened.
pretty sure it is cumulative - 1 million posts per day would be totally absurd number

The only dips i see are recent and its so tiny its hard to see. It could be from people erasing their posts or people getting their posts banned and removong from overall total
The title suggests per day to me but the graph I’m quite sure is cumulative based on other data
