I don't think lemmy is still growing. I might be wrong but this graph https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse
is trending down and i've seen a lot of smaller magazines/communities that haven't had any posts for 1-2weeks by now.
I try to help that problem at little but i doubt lemmy&kbin has >100k active users right now.
Those were going to leave left by now, but there are several alternatives. Lemmy didn't take all Reddit refugees.
True but I've heard that Discuit and Squabbles are well under 10k users apiece so the majority of refugees came to Lemmy I think. Which makes sense because those alternatives are centralized anyway, so they were never going to solve the problem we were running from.
Squabbles is at 30K and I really enjoy that site, lots of engagement
Ok, I want to say we should get them over to Lemmy, but everything will work itself out in due time. I'm just happy that's 30k more people who left reddit.
