Per the title, is Lemmy actually growing, or will it stagnate and fade into obscurity like many other similar discussion boards?

Does it have to?
Maybe a bit would be nice, but I don’t want it to grow as big as Reddit got.
I mean it always will grow a little bit over time
I would say yes, because as is the real niche communities dont have the size for larger discussions.
Mainstream communities e.g. about global news already have a decent size. And in many ways it doesn’t make much of a qualitative difference if there are 500 or 10.000 predictable comments. But many smaller communities are still mostly propped up by a few power users providing the majority of content which is not ideal for many reasons.
