By comparison Lemmy has 30,000 active users and steadily dropping.
It's actually pretty funny how much of an echo chamber Lemmy can be. All I see is positive comments about how Lemmy is so great and growing, and Twitter is dead! Meanwhile it's the opposite. Twitter is still very much alive, and Lemmy is becoming a small cul-de-sac echo chamber.
My Lemmy app lets me tag people, which I use to tag people who are rude to others, nice to me, helpful, racist, etc, just so I can remember who was nice and who wasn't nice to interact with, and I literally see the same handful of people in every thread, and the front page of "everything" is filled with the same people making every thread.
Same with Reddit. We all thought Reddit was dead, and, well.. it isn't. Some days I really regret getting IP banned for shilling out Lemmy. Plenty of communities I really miss from Reddit that just simply won't work on Lemmy, because of how Lemmy is so FOSS centric.
