According to https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Lemmy has ~67,500 daily active users over the past two weeks (it did peak at around 72,000)

How do you feel about the activity in your communities?

Do you think it will take another 'event' on some other website for more growth, or do you think Lemmy can grow naturally from here?

Or are you fine with the current activity and don't necessarily see the need for more users at this time?

I think it's just okay. I very much wish there were at least 10x as many daily active users.

I think natural growth will be either very slow, or negative, for the time being. But I also think future "events" will probably end up being more effective - because with each new influx of users Lemmy will be more mature as a platform, and have a larger pre-existing userbase to fill it with content that isn't just about Lemmy or reddit - which was so bad when I joined that I nearly quit.
