There are huge subreddits that are basically dead or just filled with spam. The ratio of active/passive users on Lemmy must be much much larger. A Lemmy community with 100 active members almost feels like a subreddit with 10 000 members.
40000 is enough to be a functioning social media. most fediverse softwares don’t have that much. Sure, it is not enough to have discussions over non mainstream stuff, but there are still enough people for a variety of topics.
40k users is huge. Remember, lemmy is not profit driven. We don’t need to grow at all costs, we can grow naturally and sustainably.
…I kinda like it right now. Some communities of less than a 1000 have much more human responses. It nice. And not just from one server.

The density of quality users and interactions on Lemmy nowadays reminds me of Reddit’s earlier days
