[Lemmy active users] 28th of September was the only day with more monthly active Lemmy users than the previous one, probably thanks to the release of Boost for Lemmy (lemmy.fediverse.observer)

This is true, but also subjective. How do you define enough? Enough to doomscroll or enough to check for 10 minutes daily? All we really need to be self sufficient is enough content to keep people coming back regularly, we don’t need to replicate reddit.

Right, this is subjective. For me the main criteria is: if I want to get an answer to a question, especially a non trivial one which is not releated to lemmy/fediverse - I should better go to reddit. And I think lemmy should better replicate reddit with this

This seems like an exaggeration. Most communities that have quality content also have quality discussion, in my experience.

Probably, can you give me example of such communities which are not about fedeverse, technology, foss or memes?

You're not wrong, but I don't see why Lemmy would want to replicate reddit in that respect. You don't need to spend any time on reddit or even make an account to take advantage of that functionality. You just Google your question and add reddit to the end and voila.

I also skipped the gaming and political communities because there is an absolute boatload of that content on Lemmy, as I'm sure you're aware. These are some communities that I am subscribed to that jumped out as being fairly active.

Not really, but still a nice list!

I was talking about asking my specific question, not googling for information.

Thanks for the list - agree - these communities are are rather alive, what is promising.

Fwiw, I've been consistently getting answers and solutions to my questions and issues on lemmy.

Good for you. I have a very mixed experience.
