In recent weeks, I have posted an absolutely staggering amount of content on Lemmy.

My goal is simply to support the platform. I hate huge corporations.

Now I’m taking a break. I won’t post anything or I’ll post very little (I still feel a little guilty!! Who will post new content 😢?)

But I need to focus on improving my own life and relax.

However… I’m just curious.

Is the number of Lemmy users actually increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Is that data even available?

Edit: I will still post stuff. I’ll just post a lot less!

    The difference is, that C and similar can be compiled, python and similar needs an interpreter to be run.

    This is the reason that languages that need to be compiled are why more efficient, meaning way less power is needed to execute, meaning less CO2 and cheaper server as less powerful hardware is needed.

      But it takes more time to develop it. This is why I like Go, which has a quite nice DX and is fast.
