Seems like a major server not reporting their numbers.
A 20% drop in use on American Thanksgiving doesn’t seem even remotely outlandish to me
I still doubt we make 9 millions posts per day, there is another graph dedicated to comments, which has a much tinier drop on Thanksgiving: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
I’m pretty sure ThePicardManuever posts 9 million times a day.
Well, yeah. Posters actually put in effort. Commenters are lazy people who just shit out their terrible opinions.
Yea well, that’s just like, your opinion, man
Commenters are the worst.
Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and shit.
Like Bro you aren’t fooling anyone, we all know you aren’t really a squid that flies.
you can have profile pictures??
I dunno if people would post so much for upvotes alone. Comments are nice, and I get friendly ones pretty frequently on my posts, and try to leave just as many on others posts :)
Edit: wait, I think I just wooshed myself
It was mostly curmudgeonly humor, but really it does take less effort in general to make comments than it does to make posts. So it would make sense that it would see less of a dip when people are busy. It’s easy to just jump on and make a few comments or participate in a discussion than to put the effort into making a post of some kind.
It really depends on the kind of person, though. I’d imagine some people find it easier to provide content than to comment on it or respond to others doing so.
Hey, my opinions are awesome but you are correct about the shitting and laziness.
this looks more like total posts tbh
For sure; I sure wasn’t on my phone at all that day, and I’m usually on Lemmy daily. Too busy cooking and mingling with family.
Likewise. The following day as well for me. Oh, and the day after that too. I didn’t return to my regular routine until today.
It’s Thanksgiving. Either a massive drop in posters due to travel or family or whoever was sending the data was similarly out.
I had definitely noticed things were more quiet than usual on English Lemmy, so I figured it was just the Americans being busy with that.

That makes a lot of sense.
Possibly an outage from a patch no?
Sorry. That was me. I ate them all.
Thanksgiving?
It’s Thanksgiving. A lot of people visiting with friends/family. Idk how to access the numbers but I’d imagine last year was about the same

Something’s odd with the numbers from fediverse observer. Numbers shown in monthly graphs should be about 30 times higher than numbers shown in daily graphs, but they are about the same
Well spotted
Its probably the average number per day in a month(the total number divided by 30)
We were busy those nights, and if you didn’t get the memo it’s best to stop asking questions while you still can.
I mean, I always thought of OP as someone in the Lemmy’s loop. I guess it doesn’t know everything…

This could actually make sense if those bot posts that mirror reddit subs are included in this number since those don’t really get any comments
Indeed. And as Reddit was probably quieter, the mirroring bots would be too
This should say total posts, not average, right?
I am thinking it is probably comments and not posts as well.
There’s a separate graph on that page for comments, which are up around 17 million.
10 million comments by 40k or so active daily users seems incredibly high.
This is showing the total number of posts, not just new ones. The title is really misleading…
Is it? That would make more sense. And then, the number of posts would go down if a very large instance would not report for a day (huge instance in this case, we are talking an instance with 2 millions posts out of 9)?
Probably just a reporting bug. Comments stayed consistent.
Oh, definitely
What would cause this?
Assuming it’s not a bug, maybe Americans busy with Thanksgiving? I know I was on less as a result
I’m thinking that, a lot of users were hanging out with relatives and traveling.
Yeah, I barely looked at Lemmy Thursday - Saturday.
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world must have taken a Thanksgiving break lmao 😂
Haha, I did. I still posted a few, but I was out of town with family for days and was barely on my phone.
som kind of bot going down maybe?
Turkey day travel and spending time with family by prolific posters is likely.
Ik Lemmy is a small social media,is this why I feel like Lemmy is dead.
We’ve been conditioned by endless scrolls, for sure.
True
Friday Saturday right?
We’re all lemmying for the weekend
