Number of (active) Lemmy users seems to stabilize and I think this is a great thing. Indeed we got a lot of users when reddit shutdown its API (I was among them despite being a long time oss user), many have left, but the community seems now to stabilize to ~ ½ of the big grow in june '23. I think this is very nice for lemmy, we can be proud of this project.

Interesting. It's not really relevant to this graph because it only shows one instance but I'd be curious to see what percentage of Lemmy's total active users are people with multiple accounts on different instances

I suspect abandoned alt accounts are a huge reason for the long, slow decline in user numbers. These graphs should be titled "active accounts," not "active users."
