On Lemmy is it usually safe to create ones own community to post their own stuff on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic? Or should we just go to the larger communities. To reduce spam. I feel like one side to this is obvious and the the other side is, to create communities to increase competition.
Lemmy currently only counts users that posted, commented or voted as active users, so the difference is just people who voted but didn’t post or comment. there are certainly quite a few more users lurking that aren’t included in these stats.
Do you have any metrics about lurkers? Really curious about that
only mostly accurately for local users, for remote users we obviously can’t see that.
as we have 15 days of log retention for this, i can tell you that we’ve had about 25.7k requests with auth tokens with a success status over the last 15 days, 23.1k over 7d and 17.9k over 24h.
