Could it also be due to load/server issues? When I have trouble with page loads on .world I have a tendency to bounce and have a low average visit time.
I’m actually quite the opposite, I wait until a page loads. Between the two of us, it evens out, lol!
But yeah, I have a pet theory as to why
lemmy.mlhas a high bounce rate and low average visit duration: people migrating from Reddit dismisslemmy.mlfor whatever reason and check out other instances instead. That’s probably also why it didn’t gain as many users as other instances (comparatively speaking).Removed by mod
This, as well as their performance seems to paint a picture that explains the figures in the table. Thanks!
