    I remember people whining that lemmy is on its decline already. We are back and here to stay

        Yeah that’s me. I signed up for and used beehaw for a month before switching to my current lemmy.ca. My old account would definitely be counted the same way as someone who signed up, got bored and left

        There are definitely people that bounced off Lemmy for whatever reason. No idea how many though, I myself had 4 accounts on various instances before I settled on this one.

        Definitely at least part of it was people who came to try it out and left (back to Reddit or wherever).

        And your case too. I also did it. But we’d be 100% speculating if either of us guessed which was more common and how much.

        Yeah it’s weird to act like people were being unreasonable for pointing out that Lemmy was on a decline when the numbers quite literally showed a decline.

        And it’s worth noting, no matter what the numbers say, the if users come here and it doesn’t feel as active as the numbers suggest, that’s still an issue.

      Don’t wanna do the ‘ackshually’ thing but it’s a little confusing so, I think you meant whining?

        Thanks. I edited it because I sea it’s confusing (different from the typo in this comment)
