Slow organic growth is far better than explosives, unsustainable growth. We continue to provide content and actual authentic conversation and they will come.

That’s possible. I think kbin/lemmy were less ready to replace Reddit yet for most users this time.
There was one guy in office who posts screenshots of funny Reddit posts in slack. Guess which app was he using! Official Reddit iOS app.

Stats would indicate that we may be approaching the leveling out phase.
I don't think we will be able to tell until we are looking back at it

Until the next big social media fuck up, which neither Spez nor Musk can stop themselves from making.
You're just here early, and the platform still needs work. It hasn't even hit 1.0 yet.

Content is up but users are down. Take that as you will.

I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the "Imaginary" series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don't have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That's not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.

I noticed the same thing on Mastodon. The new users per day ratio is slowing, but each time Elon does his thing there's a new wave.
Who cares. Just use it and enjoy.
September will be a boost when HS and college get going.
Then Reddit will mess up again and we will have another big influx. Its bound to happen.
That would be an honest shame. All of this fuss of moving over and for what? Just for that rush of a breeze of not being on Reddit? I wondered how many treated it as that, took a break from Reddit before hopping back onto Reddit expecting things to magically improve during the time they were gone for.
It's still a shitty place, people.

For now.... until reddit's admins find themselves some more feet to shoot themselves in. In the interim there's always going to be a steady flow of those who have been permabanned for obscure and arbitrary reasons
Wait for Boost and/or Sync to release, that will be the real gold rush
replies:
it is just showing how much people actually use reddit on pc plus how much people dont care about actually using the bad reddit official app vs coming here where the communities are still few and front page is still so uninteresting
