Is there stats somewhere that show how much the fediverse or lemmy have grown over a certain period of time? I find it interesting that though these platforms do seem relatively popular ( especially recently ) That the number of posts in certain communities is still pretty low and the number of comments even on popular threads is rather low.
I think a lot of people are used to just read from reddit and need active encouragement to post links and to comment.
yeah I get that. I tend to be a fairly active poster and commenter. We just need a slightly higher ratio of posters/commenters to lerkers. Nothing wrong with lerking as long as there are people to keep things moving.
