    Thanks! What do you make of the unusually high bounce rate (and low average visit duration) for lemmy.ml though? That has been a head-scratcher for me. Did it not gain people from the migration as well‌ (which makes for better interaction)?

      Could it also be due to load/server issues? When I have trouble with page loads on .world I have a tendency to bounce and have a low average visit time.

        I’m actually quite the opposite, I wait until a page loads. Between the two of us, it evens out, lol!

        But yeah, I have a pet theory as to why lemmy.ml has a high bounce rate and low average visit duration: people migrating from Reddit dismiss lemmy.ml for whatever reason and check out other instances instead. That’s probably also why it didn’t gain as many users as other instances (comparatively speaking).

          I think lemmy.ml restricted registration and had a PSA telling people to join other instances. They didn’t gain that many users because they didn’t want to, probably because their infra couldn’t handle it (hence also the bouncing).

            This, as well as their performance seems to paint a picture that explains the figures in the table. Thanks!

      It shouldn’t be a head scratcher. lemmy.ml was running like ass for much of it, with some periods of being completely down. Poor performance will drive up your bounce rate massively.

        Ah, I see. I wasn’t aware that it was that bad over in lemmy.ml, thanks!

      Could it be due to the fact they restricted registration? Not sure if it happened in June or July though.
