Do we know how well lemmy is doing?

Not that we need infinite growth, but enough people is nice to have, especially for niche subjects.

https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse has some stats, but take them with a grain of salt. It's slowly growing overall, but certain subjects are more active than others.

Thanks! Do you know if it's possible to see the same over a slightly longer period of time?

The next month or so will be the true test. Monthly stats up till now look good, but that's because there was an active push factor (most of the reddit exodus happened in the last month). There will probably be a slow decline over the next month as people who signed up lose interest. The steepness of the decline will determine lemmy's future.
