I saw some stats on this months ago, especially after the initial explosion. I’m curious if the growth is still continuing at a good pace and also how everyone feels about the growth/activity within their communities.

Monthly active users is probably the more relevant metric.
36k which seems stable.
Expect another increase when 0.19 version is release, or next time Reddit messes up
Definitely feels emptier than it was a few months earlier, but so far I enjoy the “I’m not just a pawn in an ocean of users” feel that Lemmy gives vs Reddit
I also appreciate not being the punching bag for people having a bad day. There seems to be fewer of those types on here.
True
That’s one of the drivers for me interacting more here. On Reddit I either felt like everything that could be said had already been said or that whatever I may have to add would be buried.
Isn’t Reddit currently messing up things with search? And yeah I’d agree with the stable users comment. We shall see what the next few months look like to tell.
I think that the adoption will mostly work in steps. Lemmy is currently functional, not pretty, not stable, not well moderated, not well integrated with federation, and poor discovery but it is functional.
Hopefully the next time a wave hits, Lemmy will be more mature and ready to take in more users who will already have communities set up even if they’re small.
I’m concerned though given the slower pace of updates that’s often complained about though.
