Per the title, is Lemmy actually growing, or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc...etc... interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if "lemmy" the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new "user" according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

The quality of discourse is better since a year a go by a lot. Some home brew drama too.

It feels lived in now. The active users engage more. Growth for social media comes in burst anyways.

Reddit needs to do something bad again. Tiktok enjoyer is not the target audience for apub protocol based social media.

Genuine opinion: Who cares?

Who cares if what we enjoy is changing, at all. It's kinda like if you go to a bowling alley, to go bowling. Do you show up and decide to bowl if there's other people bowling or not? I'm gonna go bowling regardless, that's why I went to the bowling alley.
