The Lemmy equivalent would be the Eternal June.
Is that correlated with students getting out of school for the summer and joining, or a different event? I have noticed a lower quality of conversation in a number of communities recently.
It's a reference to June 2023, when Lemmy saw a huge spike in users due to the Reddit API controversy.
Ah, of course! Thanks for jogging my memory. Despite the growth in users, many of the communities on Lemmy remind me of the old days of BBSes and web foraa. Hopefully the Fediverse will maintain its friendliness and usefulness as it expands.
