Be not sad. Numbers are growing.

Lemmy's admins is partially at fault here. Like, you go into the Fediverse to give users refuge from the burnout and dissastifaction as to what they have seen and experienced on bigger social media platforms. Where distrust is at an all time high.

And then you go and decide to host your main announcements over on a platform where people have stirring feelings of contempt for the platform that is centralized. You are going to alienate your audience.
