I saw some stats on this months ago, especially after the initial explosion. I’m curious if the growth is still continuing at a good pace and also how everyone feels about the growth/activity within their communities.

Who cares? Lemmy isn’t a for profit entity. Growth doesn’t matter. Quality does.
I agree that quality matters, but when we have a number of active communities where the content is supplied by bots I don’t know that I’d say we’re winning on quality.
More users means more people contributing instead of bots.
Hey, you’re being downvoted for what I wanted to comment.
Seriously. We can have a nice space for us and people alike without the need to abide to the same rules the big platform do. I don’t have a need for a 1:1 Reddit clone, I would just use Reddit if that’s what i was looking for. We don’t need to make it about the capitalist need for growth… But nice and growth really aren’t the same thing. A few more people would be beneficial, but not by any means… I’d like if we focused on being nice and constructive instead. And do away with the dumping content here to make it seem more active without looking if it also generates engagement. Oh yeah and I’d like moderation and the tools available to get better.
We need content, there’s not enough people here to make enough good content yet. We need some growth.
With growth comes quality, though. Right now, almost every community/instance is supplied with content by only a small handful of users. This means less things to engage with on the platform, and more opportunity for people to spin a narrative with their content.
