My post got removed from technology community for no reason, so I am posting it here in hope of getting the full picture:

From what I can understand, every factor lead me to believe that lemmy is in decline.

Active users page now

Active users page at 3/30/2024

The latest release from lemmy is at Jan 22 (0.19.3)

In contrast, mastodon for example had several releases in Feb alone

Some people on reddit hate the community here.

I personally started seeing some of my posts on other platforms get more comments and upvotes.

Am I wrong or is it really the downfall of lemmy?

    I think some of the “growth” will be lurkers that start posting more. The word of mouth or other social media growth will probably be very slow after the big surges of members from reddit.

    The communities I browse seem more active or at least as active as they were a couple months ago.
