I really hate graphs that start at 99% and top off at 100%
The gain is really next to nothing in the 2 months shown in this graph. It goes from ~1,456,000 to 1,468,000.... which is a 00.8% increase, less than 1%.
Yep we’re gaining 1’000 new accounts every couple days, maybe every week. Which is pretty cool given we have an average of 40’000 active users. But nothing compared to the total of 1.5 million accounts. The vast vast vast majority of which are dead. Made one year ago to check out lemmy and never came back.
There's also lots of people who made an account in multiple instances before realizing that you don't have to do that
Or people like me who keep on switching instances because they want to find the perfect one that blocks everything they don’t like and federates with everything they like.
Can't users just block entire instances themselves now? So the trick would be to join one that broadly follows your interests and cut down as required.
Blocking instances doesn’t block their users. Only defederation does that.
Ah fair didn't realise that. I assumed it would.
