Is Lemmy actually growing? (lemmy.world)

Per the title, is Lemmy actually growing, or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

well it wouldn't really play out like that, if Lemmy gets overtaken by a replacement (like Mbin, Piefed, or Sublinks), it would be a transition not a death

a big thing we can look forwards to right now is if Pixelfed gets better support to interact with Lemmy/etc communities/groups then we can get a big boost in userbase, even if they aren't using the Lemmy software we'll still be seeing their posts and comments

I wish Mastodon would improve their compatibility with Lemmy too, but they don't seem interested
