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.

Many had and have multiple accounts due to federation shenanigans. The actual userbase might have actually grown despite significantly lower numbers compared to the peak.

It took me a while to find an instance that I liked. I'm sure I counted as multiple active users until recently.

In reality, I'm the same one human who has been accessing the same servers.
