It’s normal. Chill. Not like Threads that lost 80% of its active users.
Especially for decentralized services. Threads or the latest google service will get shut down if it doesn't attract billions in like two years.
These open source projects are run and used by some people as passion projects so you will probably not find Lemmy completely empty, even if it would largely fail in a traditional sense.
We're stubborn in a way. Where would I go instead... I was here when only like 50 people were active ^^
Agreed! Less pressure or need to scale. Even if growth stopped today, we have millions of people to interact with!
