r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it's rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

Post per day seams steady at about 30/40, comment per day seams to have dropped from 3/400 to 250/300, I would have expected a great fall.

If you compare post per days from before the strike, it definitely falls. It's no longer an upward trajectory despite subscribers growth.

Yeah I wouldnt be surprised if spez is bolstering subscriber numbers for larger subs with bot accounts

You need to compare with the same period last year.

If you look at the chart, pretty much nothing comparable to the same period last year. January 2023 is a lot higher than January 2022 for example. July 2023 is also higher than July 2022.
