Yay, another week of higher than normal activity, until the fomo kicks back in and they leave yet again cause "everyone is on X/this is sooo complicated/I just wanna see the fallout/whatever excuse justifies their addiction"

Every time that happens the fedi retains a good chunk of users. There's significant and stable growth throughout.
Ya that’s what happened with me, I deleted my account once Musk took over and started a Mastodon account and now I’m on Lemmy too and haven’t looked back at either platforms
Maybe if twitter keeps fucking shit up, mastodon will become mainstream haha. I would certainly love to see that.
A more appropriate rebranding would be 'L'.
They even stole x.org's logo:
believe it or not its more likely they straight up ripped off U+1D54F MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X:

absolutely no creativity. at least threads drew the ring in @ clockwise instead of the usual anticlockwise
I don't want to rain on your parade but I'll do it anyway: The numbers of active posts and members in Lemmy communities, even in the most active ones, are mindbogglingly low in comparison with Reddit, even in comparison to somethingawful what I still consider the dirty cousin of Reddit.
All the numbers are just two sizes lower than Reddit and then there is the atrocious web interface. I have stopped counting how often my posts got eaten, the reply button didn't react and general stuff didn't work at all.
