    Yeah good points. I have never used Twitter so I missed the whole Mastodon exodus, and I don’t know much about Lemmy before the reddit migration.

    But I’m just basing this on the MAU figure being around 1000 in March 2023 and still being around 1000 at the end of May 2023. Then starting in June there was a massive wave that pushed us to 70k at one point.

    I get that there were previous waves, and God damn if I’m not appreciative of everyone who was here before me and created the environment that convinced me that Lemmy was worthwhile. But at the end of the day, any previous waves are more like ripples when compared to the reddit exodus.

    And hopefully we have at least one more wave in our future that will make this one look like a ripple.
