I dunno about that… aren’t there hundreds of thousands that gave up after seeing what Lemmy is all about?

Upvoting bc using 4chan as the standard picture of health on the Internet is simply too perfect!!

So then “because of both” - seems legit!! 😜

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.
