After getting Boost for Lemmy I noticed I love Boost, not Reddit (lemmy.world)

The experience that I love isn't Reddit but the one that I get with Boost. Lemmy is growing and there are some subs I miss from Reddit but the number is constantly decreasing.

That’s the fediverse though, ~80% of which is Mastodon. Lemmy itself has been in decline recently (Screenshot).

After an explosive growth (I think that’s always how things go), but still, recently it hasn’t been growing.

I don't want to make it sound like the Lemmy situation is rosier than it is, but considering how sharply users dropped off, say, Threads... I think Lemmy is doing alright. There are a number of factors that might contribute to user counts dropping, but mostly it's unavoidable when you have a sharp uptick of anything. I think accounts and activity are going to flatten and then start trending back upward. If Reddit keeps fucking around, that'll definitely bring more people in and this cycle will repeat. I'm actually fairly pleased with how many people have been sticking around on Lemmy.

Yeah I think that’s to be expected and I didn’t want to imply that Lemmy is in a bad place, I don’t think it is. That’s just the life cycle of these things, as you said.

I also think Lemmy is in a much better place than it was when the big move during the Reddit blackout happened. Especially apps, but also the communities and the infrastructure.

I can imagine that with the next Reddit fuckup, which will surely happen sooner or later, it’s going to be quite comfortable to switch over.

Wasn't referring to the Fediverse as a whole, just that Lemmy page you linked to, but I did indeed not scroll far enough down. I just saw the mass list of increasing users and posts and missed the section below lol. Definitely slowing down a bit.
