Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

      My guess is a lot of people came in saw that Lemmy was kinda dead a lot of the time but suspected it would continue to grow so they left it temporarily to go back to reddit while they waited for Lemmy to catch up

          Quote I heard very recently: Don’t do things that would not achieve the goal you wanted if everybody did it.

          It’s got too many caveats, but it’s certainly food for thought.

      Yeah i did something similar, though mostly bc i was confused about the whole instance thing. Made three or four accounts over the first few days. I kept forgetting the password, or didn’t really understand what an instance meant, or how to log on via Connect. Now that’s done with, I just stick to one account

      I did it too. I had like 4 or 5 accounts and used 2 or 3 actively until recently if my main instance went down. Now I’m just using 1.

      This is me. I bounced between a couple of instances before I settled on lemm.ee; I also am generally a lurker because I don’t want to comment or post unless I know that it will generate quality conversation.

        I’ll personally post as long as it’s relevant. Ideally it’s an interesting comment but not always. I stay away from reddit-type inane comments with no substance, though I’m sure they have their place here as well.
