It's normal, people come and go, same on mastodon. We will have times where people join like crazy, just wait :)
We don't have to prove ourselves to any investors though, so slight decline is totally fine!
But we do need to learn from our mistakes. Mastodon for example now adapted search, because they hope it will be a useful feature that was missing - what if they hadnt learned from their communities feedback? In the worst case, another fediverse service takes over. There is also competition there and corporate owned social media e.g. bluesky also already knocks on the door.
What is this? We dont need to apply the "growth growth growth!" mantra from our fucked up economies?
I want more people to experience how cool lemmy is.
