Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy, we can be proud of this project.

I completely agree with that, while at the same time just moving everyone that’s on Facebook/Xitter/Reddit/etc onto here just sounds like an absolute nightmare. 😂 I’m here to get less of that shit, the same way the internet in general was an escape for me before the age of mass social media.
In an ideal world I would love for mass social media to be broken up by the fediverse, just preferably where I don’t have to see it. That’s why I’m on Blahaj ✌️
