Was literally thinking as I read the headline "Ok... how did Lemmy's numbers fluctuate after the initial burst?"

We're seeing the results of that right now. The reddit blackout was June 12-14, a month ago. We're finding out how many people checked things out during that and left as the users / 6month and users / month start to separate.

The actual kick for me was the block of apollo on the 1st of july

Same, I had made a mastodon account a few months back, so I played with that for a bit, then figured out lemmy. Just in the last 7 days, it feels like engagement has increased ten fold. I feel actually impactful here; which leads to more of my personal effort.

The guilty pleasure I get to indulge in while watching corpo-reddit flail around is just icing.

As a fellow Apollo refuge, check out wefwef/voyager. Really helps with the transition. Lemmy webapp heavily based on Apollo’s design.

Memmy for Lemmy is Apollo’s rightful heir

I have Memmy installed as well but keep gravitating back to wefwef.

Whichever one gets hide on scroll first will win for me.

Memmy has that in Settings > Content !

Looks like you still need to open the post for it to be marked as read. Not just on scroll.

But Memmy is looking a lot better than the last time I opened it up.
