MODERATORS
If you look at the charts you linked, you can see the users activity (post per day and comments per day) is falling sharply since last month. Subscribers count mean nothing if a big proportion of the active posters leave.
Makes sense, the people who have both the tech knowledge and conviction on the advantages of selfhosting, were probably the most active posters.
The new subscribers are probably bots.
100% how spez started out initially and made it appear that reddit had a lot of activity. So this definitely smells like spez-tricks
Definitely. Inflating numbers for the sake of the upcoming IpO
Post per day seams steady at about 30/40, comment per day seams to have dropped from 3/400 to 250/300, I would have expected a great fall.
If you compare post per days from before the strike, it definitely falls. It's no longer an upward trajectory despite subscribers growth.
Yeah I wouldnt be surprised if spez is bolstering subscriber numbers for larger subs with bot accounts
You need to compare with the same period last year.
If you look at the chart, pretty much nothing comparable to the same period last year. January 2023 is a lot higher than January 2022 for example. July 2023 is also higher than July 2022.
It's interesting how Lemmy shows active users before subscribing. Even reddit shows "readers" (people currently online), but people hyperfocus on subscribers (which can be dead accounts).
