Is lemmy growth coming to a halt? - Lemmy.world

Lemmy world was growing at a decent pace leading up to July 1st, then had a big influx following the API deadline. However the last week in particular has seen a decline. Engagement still appears to be the same, although a little lower than the start of the month. A few of the other instances i have been checking follow a similar pattern. Do you think we will continue growing at a steady pace, or do we need another big trigger to get users to migrate? For Mastodon, it seems there’s a big trigger every other week to drive users away from Twitter, but with Reddit, the revolt seems to have quietened down considerably.

According to the Fediverse Observer, Posts and Comments are still growing day-by-day. It’s definitely slower growth, but as long as it stays healthy and active it will continue to have growth spurts as the enshittification of the rest of the web continues.

And the best thing at can do is post and comment to let people know we’re active and alive!

Yeah that’s a good idea. Maybe I should stop lurking so hard.

Slow day to day growth is the kind you want to foster and plan on anyway. Cant rely on spikes and waves, but they are of course apriciated. The more content we make the more people will come over, for now it’s really that simple from a user standpoint.
