This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so
Looks like the title is incorrect, and it's actually posts per day. At least, the graph shows a few days where the number goes down, so it can't be just the total number of posts (unless there was a wave of deletions outpacing the posts).
Edit: according to other people's comments, it is actually total posts, not posts per day. So my above comment seems to be incorrect.
The dips in the graph could be caused by some of the servers (or 'instances') going offline, post deletions, or a combination of both.
its total by day the dip is deletion
Or botted contents going, or instances going offline. I'm pretty sure it's total. I think world and ml have around 500k posts. There is no way it can be a daily contents when those 2 are the most active.
It's total
I think it's total posts. If you look at the list of instances and posts at the bottom it matches closer to total posts:

It's still epic and growing both in quality and activity, but it's still got a long way to grow. I feel optimistic. :)
