Natural growth is better than surge. Lemmy will eventually be the defacto. Reddit will do something stupid and people will star pouring in.

I'm usually on that side, but I'm afraid we might just go down to 30k, 20k then snowballing to a very small number that would just kill the platform

I've been a bit concerned as well. I had gotten to know a fair number of regular commenters, but I haven't seen probably half of them recently.

New subs are still joining the community, but it's still low participation. The big communities still seem to be growing steadily, but it's not necessarily bringing the positive attitude that initially won me over to Lemmy.

Indeed.

By the way, thank you for your work on [email protected]

Of course! I've got to be the change I want to see after all.

Lol, no it won't.
