The experience that I love isn’t Reddit but the one that I get with Boost. Lemmy is growing and there are some subs I miss from Reddit but the number is constantly decreasing.

Is Lemmy actually growing? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see it, but it feels and seems like things are slowing down a bit recently.

Edit: Sorry hit the button too quick lol. If you click on Lemmy you’ll be able to see the stats for various instances, its been basically constantly growing, can’t speak as to quality lol.
Edit: Nerp, I derp’d.
That’s the fediverse though, ~80% of which is Mastodon. Lemmy itself has been in decline recently (Screenshot).
After an explosive growth (I think that’s always how things go), but still, recently it hasn’t been growing.
I don’t want to make it sound like the Lemmy situation is rosier than it is, but considering how sharply users dropped off, say, Threads… I think Lemmy is doing alright. There are a number of factors that might contribute to user counts dropping, but mostly it’s unavoidable when you have a sharp uptick of anything. I think accounts and activity are going to flatten and then start trending back upward. If Reddit keeps fucking around, that’ll definitely bring more people in and this cycle will repeat. I’m actually fairly pleased with how many people have been sticking around on Lemmy.
It is slowly growing but there are still a lot of more users needed to have more wide topics like Reddit had… and I’m not even talking about niche stuff…
For news and current stuff it’s fine.
