    Numbers of posts, active servers and daily users have a mostly linear increase day to day but comments hence engagement have skyrocketed. It makes me think it’s mostly not bots

      Exactly. I don’t doubt there’s tons of bots, but regular people are coming as well to the degree that this platform is really beginning to feel alive.

        I read WAY more than I comment, and comment way more than I post. I imagine there’s a lot of people like me who are here, but are on the quiet side.

      Lots of bots for soe but this comm alone blew up to 3x the users in 2 days, and people make lots of OCs… So not just bots

      Yeah my guess as well. The Reddit blackouts have been going for quite a while, and the 3rd party apps are still going. There’s no reason why we would suddenly grow 300K in a day

        Half and half.

        Also, growth is exponential.

        Its when it reaches a plateau aka once the dust settles, how much people remain engaged that matter.
