    What happened around the middle of February that caused that slight but sharp drop-off?

      thats about the time when reddit was upping thier ban purges, my hunch is people who have lemmy mightve stop using temporarily to find out what was going on/repealing thier bans on reddit?

      for a several days i dint immediately go to LEMMY after my permabans, but trying to find out the reason behind all these purges ? some people have multiple reddit accounts

        A slightly different graph from Fedecan shows the user growth more clearly without the Hexbear blip

        Highest daily growth since 2023 at 1.2k per day the past few days.

          Nice, I didn’t know fedecan hosted graphs like this. The fediverse.observer graph has a weird scale and Fedidb has also been weird lately, so this is a good alternative.

      For the story, if i recall correctly, part of hexbear admins were aways so they got a paiement problem.

      Their domain reseller put a bid for hexbear.net domain. It skyrocketed to 2500$. I’m glad they didn’t have to pay those corpothieve.
