    Was literally thinking as I read the headline “Ok… how did Lemmy’s numbers fluctuate after the initial burst?”

      We’re seeing the results of that right now. The reddit blackout was June 12-14, a month ago. We’re finding out how many people checked things out during that and left as the users / 6month and users / month start to separate.

          Same, I had made a mastodon account a few months back, so I played with that for a bit, then figured out lemmy. Just in the last 7 days, it feels like engagement has increased ten fold. I feel actually impactful here; which leads to more of my personal effort.

          The guilty pleasure I get to indulge in while watching corpo-reddit flail around is just icing.

          As a fellow Apollo refuge, check out wefwef/voyager. Really helps with the transition. Lemmy webapp heavily based on Apollo’s design.

              I have Memmy installed as well but keep gravitating back to wefwef.

              Whichever one gets hide on scroll first will win for me.

                  Looks like you still need to open the post for it to be marked as read. Not just on scroll.

                  But Memmy is looking a lot better than the last time I opened it up.

      I’ve only seen the amount of comments and upvotes on posts increase. I don’t know what that says about numbers, but even a small user base with that kind of engagement is awesome.
