The Sunny Gardener - November 2023

Green, red and gold Japanese maple leaves against the dark curving wood and tile roof of a temple building.

A quiet month! I hope everyone had a pleasant November. I spent a lot of time scouting for the best autumn leaves.

Summary

New users down somewhat this month but active users are up slightly to where they were a couple of months ago. It’s nice to see that people are staying active or returning to accounts that have been dormant for a while, even though there wasn’t any particular hype wave.

45 new users, 496 active users, 47k interactions, 13 reports opened, 13 reports resolved

Thank you, to everyone that has donated on ko-fi! There’s no obligation or expectation that you donate in order to use the server, and I’m able to cover the costs myself if needed.
