Prior to that, there is a nice correlation between activity and user growth. More users - more activity in posts and comments. Thatβs no longer the case over the last couple of days. π€
Iβm part of the problem. (This is my first post.)
Hopefully it is not nefarious.
My guess is that those users are reddit refugees, and they are trying to figure out the platform before posting.
Iβve seen various early joiners say that have been more active on lemmy than they have ever been on reddit because they want to help boost te platform. More people more activity. Maybe some users are reverting to their lurking state π.
