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.

Who cares? Lemmy isn’t a for profit entity. Growth doesn’t matter. Quality does.

Maybe I am reading this wrong but it looks grim. Downward trends all around
In another situation, it would be grim, but having that downwards tendency right after a hype peak (Jul/2023, or
Reddigg v4the APIcalypse) is expected - plenty users who’d come with the hype would go back, and plenty instance owners would realise that running an instance is way more work than they planned.

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
