Is Lemmy gaining or losing active users over time? (lemmy.ml)

I'm new here, so I'd like to know if this project is growing steadily or not really catching on. It has a lot of potentioal imho, but I understand how hard it is to make people use "alternative" websites.

See here. The graph for six month active users is a little glitchy (I think because lemmy.ml was listed twice under two different URL).

There does seem to be very small growth in 6 month active users, not as fast as a few other fediverse platforms (such as friendica and writefreely) . but i got my fingers crossed that third party lemmy tools will create some really compelling features and help push the adoption of lemmy (I think addons can enhance open source software, like how firefox addons helped firefox adoptions).

I know the existence of Memmy on iOS really helped me to jump on as a casual user. I think awareness of apps and easy hop on points is what’s going to be the biggest boon for general growth of the user base

I just noticed this post is from 2 yrs ago. This is also an issue.
