Just curious if anyone knows if the platform has seen even more recent growth since now Tiktok is even more so a state owned social media platform?

Should we tell people Lemmy exists or is the organic slow growth much better long term?

    if anything people are probably gonna jump to some platform like https://skylight.social/ (not endorsement it actually looks pretty awful in its current state). ATProto platforms tend to get astronomically higher user counts even if in practice ending up rather centralized. if i tell an ex-twitter user to check out Mastodon and just Federate an ActivityPub Instance Decentralize Free Open Source Interconnected they’re gonna zone out. versus telling them to join bluesky @ bsky.app. to everyone who mentions Loops, do you actually use it? there are a TOTAL of ~700 posts on the main instance currently, and half of them are posts about “we should post more”.
