Do you know if there are usage stats posted somewhere? I would like to see how much people joins in the upcoming weeks.

There are a few different sites that keep track of it. I like the way https://fedidb.org/software/Lemmy presents the stats. The dip in users that they show though is from them removing a bunch of bot instances from their metrics.

I've seen a few stats posted throughout the day. Around 6hrs ago I saw just lemmy.world activity had risen 40% since yesterday.

I'm one of the new ones so I don't know where stats came from tho.

I was posting and encouraging Lemmy.world and wefwef like crazy until Apollo died.
