imho, this image - the MAU curve of lemmy is the big news on the #fediverse. While also #mastodon and other platforms experienced peaks last summer, #lemmy is the only one that is consistently on the rise in 2024. Arguably, this is thanks to particular #affordances, like the fact that older posts of wider appreciation do not get overwhelmed in feeds.

I am particularly interested in the affordances of Lemmy that have contributed to its steady growth. Specifically, I am curious about how older posts of wider appreciation do not get overwhelmed in feeds. This is a challenge that many social media platforms face, and Lemmy's approach could offer valuable insights for others.
