Lemmy (active) users # seems to stabilize
(files.catbox.moe)
Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy, we can be proud of this project.

Ooof... That is terrible. Only decline. I expected it to grow at least slowly, but this is just sad. And makes the dozen (niche even) duplicate sublemmies even worse. One sublemmy for every person to take to themselves.
One nice part of this is that the current level means that the next big event causing a wave away from Reddit will hold onto more people, since there's content here for them to see and read. When the last big batch came over 6 months ago, it was pretty bare and a lot of people left immediately.
