It's still tiny numbers in the scheme of things, but also quite a big number for a site that had ~30 users this time last month.

It remains to be seen how many of the nearly 200K across kbin+lemmy stay active. A huge number of people will have created an account during the blackout with no intention of ever returning. They're still counted as active now (because they just created an account a few days ago), but they won't be considered active a month from now.

Unfortunately, unless we get more "normal" content over here, people will continue to go inactive. The only threads that really get any traction are the posts complaining about Reddit and the meta posts asking how everything works over here.

The real test will be July 1. For now, RIF/Apollo/etc. still work as they did for the past decade+, so people are still going to Reddit out of habit. Hopefully, the community here can grow enough in the next couple of weeks to appear viable to new users looking to transfer when their app of choice stops working.

I'm going to post on some of the niche subreddits about lemmy and the fediverse up until the end of the month and then thats it. I'm hopeful if people stick with it it'll grow organically. Decentralisation is the only way to go.
