so there was a wave of sign ups with the Reddit drama, and then people got bored. the graph looks about right to me.

Uh-huh

Still, Lemmy probably ended up with more people than before. Also, hey, I came from Reddit drama

I also came from reddit during the drama.

Cows are underrated! Got any cool cow facts?

(I also emerged as a result of the reddit drama.)

Cows can poop up to 15 times a day, which equals to 29.5kg of poop every day.

Growth always comes in waves and then settles. I spent nearly a decade on reddit until they killed my app. Reddit took over a decade to become really big. I'm not really that worried for lemmy that much, especially since we now have a framework for something other than reddit. Even if reddit goes into nosedive mode, it won't be the end of forums as we know it.
