The sputters have mostly been when reddit fucks up. The first big one was their API ban. The next was when they were going public.
Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking?

Lemmy is growing. Not exploding, but showing steady growth. It’s interesting because Lemmy tends to grow in sputters. The good thing is though, is that the growth is organic and after a bit of friction, we get new people that stick around.

Yeah, from the graphs above you can see that the number of monthly comments is growing, such is the main thing I suppose

Honestly, we don’t need content creators as long as we have good convos, like an actual forum.

That’s the thing I find beautiful about Lemmy. Take for example yesterday, I had a simple question about some networking equipment and it was like being Captain America in the lift, there were punches and kicks from all directions. But the punches and kicks were kindness and knowledge. It’s crazy how nice people are. It’s like walking into a village starving and everyone gives you a piece of their dinner and you’re stunned because you now have a massive plate. The level of interaction is such a beautiful thing.

Yeah, the uptick in comments is definitely an encouraging thing. Makes the whole place feel more populated and less like a ghost town.
