According to https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Lemmy has ~67,500 daily active users over the past two weeks (it did peak at around 72,000)
How do you feel about the activity in your communities?
Do you think it will take another 'event' on some other website for more growth, or do you think Lemmy can grow naturally from here?
Or are you fine with the current activity and don't necessarily see the need for more users at this time?
Yep, this matches my impressions as well.
To illustrate how "not great" the interface is between lemmy and mastodon right now ...
Because mastodon is unlikely to improve anything on this front any time soon ... I think lemmy adding some sort of person-following blogging interface (as crazy or difficult as that might be), at this moment, could be an interesting idea for its future growth. I say that partly because I think momentum is growing behind the idea that the fediverse needs more than what mastodon provides. But also because I suspect a person-following interface really isn't a radically different feature set but rather is or could be an extension of what is here already.
I made a post about this (in !lemmy@lemmy.ml) asking for people's thoughts: https://lemmy.ml/post/2432594
Kbin?
Could Kbin be the UI for this use case? I currently keep the two worlds separate. But I wonder if I need a paradigm shift.
The other problem for me is that I am way more open about my identity on Mastodon (and post accordingly) but not in Lemmy/KBin - same as I was on Insta/Twitter vs Reddit.
Yea, kbin's great. Two thoughts though:
