Is Lemmy actually growing? (lemmy.world)

Per the title, is Lemmy actually growing, or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

Don’t expect perpetual growth from the fediverse for one good reason:

It would cost more money.

Lemmy is self hosted and there are people who use their own personal money to host these things and have a certain amount of activity.

Doubling the users would double the cost but it would not double the usefulness for the instance owner.

I moved to Lemmy during the reddut exodus itsjustt become better overtime I don't miss reddit at all. Also lots of fellow Linux and free software nerds over here and I like that.

I moved here during rexit and love it, but Lemmy isn't popular in my country. That's the reason I need other communities for local news and why Lemmy is not my everyday comunity.
