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?

I'm fine with how active things are. The most popular community I run ([email protected] ~750 subscribers) is receiving at least a post per day, sometimes up to five.

If another "event" happens, I'm sure we will get busier, but things seem manageable for the two of us so far. I'm not opposed to more traffic, however.

some communities do feel quite active, but I think sports as well as some niche interests could use a boost in activity here

For sports, isn't it break time? I know it is for european football

Baseball is in mid-season right now and it appears each team sub has a bot posting game threads and live updates. American football will be starting up in a few weeks as well.

Still the Women's World Cup, Leagues Cup, Asian and South American football! But yeah, [email protected] is sadly inactive.

I guess those three unfortunately don't engage people that much.

Let's see how it goes in September
