i know we want this platform to grow, but just an artificial boost as a result of the fall of the competition isn’t… frankly speaking, a sustainable growth… the reddit thing, obviously was good for lemmy and fediverse in general, but these platforms like mastodon [i was on mastodon.technology :( ] and lemmy have been around for years, growing silently, but this slow decline phase was inevitable given the unnatural influx… it’s like when a wave hits a shore and retracts… lemmy will keep growing (given, the communities and instances don’t implode), maybe not as fast as competitions but it will…
