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
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.
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?
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
I always assumed its daily reporting of monthly active users. the nodeinfo format that is used for reporting the data does not show daily active users iirc (it is seemingly capable of reporting weekly users).
Its probably the average number per day in a month(the total number divided by 30)
Well spotted
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...

Probably just a reporting bug. Comments stayed consistent.
Oh, definitely
We need to post harder, not smarter
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
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.
People preparing xmas gifts and planning for holidays?
That looks much more like a data artifact than an accurate representation of behavior.
I think that the trajectory of the three low dots matches the overall slope very closely in a way that looks far more like a flat subtraction of all three. If it was behavioral, I think you'd see the behavior come and go over the course of several days.
Maybe it was some sort of federation issue?
You are right, that is quite a dramatic drop and rise.
Friday Saturday right?
We're all lemmying for the weekend
