How is the size of Lemmy's userbase changing? Is it growing or shrinking? How diverse is it? What do the current trendlines look like as we approach a year since Rexxit?

I feel like I used to see graphs on this sub fairly regularly, but haven't seen one recently. There was also some ambiguity in the numbers as commenting and voting were added to the active user totals. Now that most (all?) instances have switched to 0.19, do we have a better idea of where things stand?

Aside from sticking around and posting, commenting, and voting, is there anything users should be doing to help grow the platform? (!lemmygrow would be a good name for a sublemmy, if anyone wanted to organize something)

In any case, thanks to everyone who has helped grow Lemmy to its current size!

Now I am surfing lemmy more than reddit, simply because lemmy load faster.

I surf it because reddits app is trash and even the desktop old.reddit site is starting to be put out to pasture by reddit. It's just better here. I use boost for Lemmy and it's been amazing.

I came over during the whole API debacle and then realized it will either be great for my mental health, or eventually Lemmy will have just as much content. So far my mental health has improved... the content has improved a little too

Yep, Lemmy right now reminds me of the very early reddit days, I'm sure in 15 years it'll be completely different but for now it's been great.
