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?
Lemmy has cleared some early hurdles to grow from near-zero to 60k DAUs in a month. I’ve enjoyed talking to people over the past month in a more friendly and intimate way than on that other site. The main communities are fun and viable but the niche ones are mostly empty. I run a niche hobby community and despite having a few hundred subscribers <5% have ever commented, <0.5% have posted. I think Lemmy needs to be perhaps 10x larger than it is now to be self-sustaining for niche communities.
I guess in your case, people are maybe enjoying their summer in hikes and less on their phones/computer he he
