Fishy user growth over the last two days
Prior to that, there is a nice correlation between activity and user growth. More users - more activity in posts and comments. That's no longer the case over the last couple of days. 🤔

I'm part of the problem. (This is my first post.)
Hopefully it is not nefarious.
My guess is that those users are reddit refugees, and they are trying to figure out the platform before posting.
I've seen various early joiners say that have been more active on lemmy than they have ever been on reddit because they want to help boost te platform. More people more activity. Maybe some users are reverting to their lurking state 😜.
Can confirm I'm one of those folks.
Well, people really have started hating Reddit lately.
They might be boosting their user count so their new instance is higher in instance lists. I looked at two of them and both had 10.1k users, but only few of were active at the time.
