Though the Threadiverse/Lemmy in particular is shrinking - as that same webpage shows when you filter for Lemmy, currently we have 33K monthly active users, down from 35K in recent months, itself further down from 40K in Dec. 2025, having fallen from 65K at the peak during Rexodus. See also the graph for PieFed, which shows 7K MAUs. Which I find highly notable, especially given how people are leaving Reddit… and also Lemmy/the Threadiverse as well.

Are you certain these are unique accounts?

If you build it, they will come.

Reddit is an AI dumpster fire. There are still decent communities, but the glory days are behind it (the 20teens). Reddit circa 2012-15’ was peak. Now it’s an AI slop infested milquetoast facebook alternative. Damn shame. Hopefully the user base will finally realize the ship has sailed straight up it’s own corporate butthole, and seek alternatives, such as this one.

Nope. It seems it is a sicker Reddit. No matter the congenitalilty, the engagement is just frankly gross. Maybe I need to move from lemmy.zip, but the vetting is a pain in the ass. People are just difficult to even talk to these days. I am actually a really sweet but sardonic guy. No freedom of speech and no humor. Just an exasperation of the things that killed reddit. No actual discussion. Fuck this.

Yeah, you can tell, way more conservative liberals on here than there used to be.

Well, an alternative explanation would be LLM agent accounts, which started to appear on the fediverse around the time the above graph started to go up. Here on Lemmy they are a bit delayed and only started to sign up in larger quantities in the last 2-3 months.

First fediverse site I encountered was moving train radio, a podcast that cited Israeli war crimes in every horrific detail for hours. It should be played in every church service in North America every week.

I’ve definitely noticed my shitpost comments get a lot more engagement than they used to, so that’s fun

@vegafjord@slrpnk.net 2026-09-23 20:19
note that this is accounts. So for example, I have 3 accounts I use regularily.

Hoping it’s true, generally when I see posts about how strong and successful something is, it hits like a warning sign that it’s struggling / at risk and someone is trying to project growth for attraction / retention. I assume I’m not the only one with this kind of mental filter. Maybe there’s a way to go about it that would get the impression across without ringing that alarm? Maybe a show don’t tell kind of tact? Like “check out all this new content being generated by the influx of users”… or a backhanded thing like “here’s how to protect your insrance against recent traffic surges”? Idk I’m no expert. Hope it’s helpful but otherwise just ignore me~
