I read “it’s dying” by people on Discord and Reddit all the time, but the numbers prove otherwise. It’s been going up this entire time and sitting over 3 billion MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS!

I feel like the bubble around people on other platforms saying “who uses Facebook anymore lol” is kind of wild given the numbers. Keep in mind these are active users not just abandoned accounts.

      You joke but Lemmy is at the same point as Reddit was when they first started. Reddit just IPO’d at 34/share, up to 68 now. 12 billion USD valuation.

      I think Lemmy has a lot more potential than most people think it does… The idea is laughable, but so was $12 billion reddit in 2008 . Not in monetary terms, but in how information could be communicated throughout the world in 20 years.
