has anything changed here?

@maison_faim In what sense? Things change here all the time.

@freemo Are people here more active now?

@maison_faim The local timeline should give a pretty decent indication of how active we are.

You can also look at our active user count, which is higher than most instances and the ratio of active to inactive users is exceptionally high for a fediverse instance.

So I'd say we are pretty active, yea, but thats p to you to judge yourself.
