Looks like the upgrade of lemmy.world finality fixed the statistics. Went from about 800 monthly users yesterday to over 5000 today. Not bad for a small hobby project.
Keep the quality content coming and let’s continue building this community.

Who is paying them?
Lemmy 2023-10-31 news post, section Funding Drive:
There seem to be considerable recurring donations now too. (Donations page, section Sponsors.)
If you mean “considerable” as in barely above minimum wage, sure… it’s either a job or a hobby and if it is a job you need to compare it with what they could earn as software developers elsewhere.
Multiple hundreds is considerable to me and beyond “hobby”. It doesn’t have to be a full time job or fairly compensated to be more than a hobby.
1.5 k has to be considered in my eyes. It’s not negligible or marginal as donations. (Note I labeled donations considerable, not their income - which I don’t know. My point was that it’s worth mentioning.)
