Let's look at all the birthday announcements as an indicator of Poal's engagement sine lots of Poalrs upvote these announcements. It should give us a feel for lowest effort engagement.

6th birthday - 76 votes - https://poal.co/s/Announcements/707253 5th birthday - 121 votes - https://poal.co/s/Announcements/633577 4th birthday - 154 votes - https://poal.co/s/Announcements/530603 3rd birthday - 142 votes - https://poal.co/s/Announcements/353351 2nd birthday - 35 votes - https://poal.co/s/Announcements/166721 1st birthday - 8 votes - https://poal.co/s/Whatever/55139 (not official birthday announcement but best I could locate)

Poal's peak was apparently back in 2022 (4th birthday) if you use this data as a metric. Sad. I don't know where Poal is headed for year 7, but it doesn't look as if engagement will improve any. Sigh...

I'm no web statistician but isn't engagement measured on numbers of comments (or quality of comments) on posts? Counting uptoots on a birthday post is not a fair proxy for site engagement IMHO.

I'm using "engagement" here as general interaction with Poal content and discussion. I'm not concerned about the (((advertiser))) definition used on website metrics.

So you think the interaction with content and discussion is on a downtrend? My sense is that it is stable or expanding. But perhaps that is just my expectations lowering to meet reality :)

I wonder what is the average # posts / day and # comments / day, and whether those metrics are increasing, stable, or decreasing over the past many years.

Poal used to be able to fill my day with enough content. It doesn't do that any longer. Content post quantity has steadily declined after 2022. After 10 PM eastern time Poal goes to sleep. It's dead for hours. It didn't use to be that bad. So yeah, definitely on a downtrend.
