I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

Oh, I'm with you, and I don't need or want the endless growth thing. I was on Reddit a long time, and saw the good and bad of the huge user base.

But it's kind of like when you have a favorite neighborhood restaurant: you don't want it to get so successful that it's always crowded and you can't get a table, but you also want it to do well enough that it stays in business. If the Lemmy use base declines too much, there won't be a reason for people to come here and we'll lose our little corner of the Internet.
