Having not been using this place as regularly for the last couple of weeks, it definitely looks like there’s more upvotes on posts now in general compared to when I started up here about two months ago. Even just before this latest Reddit fuck up, it looks a lot to me like there’s been a steady influx lately. Like suddenly noticing that the grass has got longer.
When I made my Lemmy account (the day reddit put a paywall on the API) most posts didn’t even have comments (sorting by hot/popular). And it would be common to run out of new posts after a bit of scrolling. Now it looks about the same level of activity as reddit 10-something years ago.
Oh yeah, I’ve only been on Lemmy a few months but I’ve noticed it. I was one baby face emoji (is that just a Voyager thing?) in a sea of old accounts, but recently I’ve been seeing more and more of those baby emojis

I think it is just a Voyager thing, on Thunder I see a pink name & cake if a user joined today
Welcome back!
Haha thanks! I’ve been lurking a fair amount. Just a little more distracted currently.
