      Engagement is down to 6 minutes per user per day down from 21 minutes at launch.

      For perspective Twitter is at 34.8 minutes per user per day.

          I am definitely bumping that stat up singlehandedly by an unhealthy amount.

          Me too, I looked around but it doesn’t seem like lemmy tracks that metric, or if they do they haven’t released it, the best I found was a posts per hour graph from 2 months ago.

          Lemmy isn’t here to sell ads so I hope we never have to find out.

      Yeah, I don’t get these articles. Most users don’t stick around on a platform, but if enough do and form a critical mass, it’ll succeed.

          Those users who dropped $100 for Sync should at least stick around:

          Kinda. Lemmy doesn’t have anywhere near 50 million users, but the thousands we do have is enough to keep the community churning away.

            Plus the bots help. Bots posting things from news organizations and taking from Reddit help this place have content.

              I’m not a fan of the bots - they spam the same link across a bunch of communities.

              I’d much prefer real engagement, but I can block them, so that’s fine, I guess.
