Has it grown like people have kept predicting? or is this peak lemmy? Did Peak Lemmy already happen?
Personally I think growth is a tainted metric. For a capitalist enterprise focused on shareholder value it might be worth something (although you could argue that’s what turned the corporate Internet to shit in the first place). Steady ingress and egress of users is fine IMO. We don’t need growth, we just need stability.
Exactly, key focus should be on sustainability. As long as there are enough people to develop the platform, run instances, and post content, then Lemmy will be around indefinitely. There’s absolutely no rush to grow in my opinion. A slow and steady ingress of users results in people adjusting to Lemmy norms, where a flood of users risks changing the culture entirely.
What is the current state of Lemmy?
After reddit flood, Florida. Maybe Virginia.
It’s stable and largely fun, especially more active but niche communities.
