We’ve kinda been hibernating since July 2023, with the userbase rapidly declining from that peak and then remaining nearly constant for the entirety of 2024. Honestly it’s quite impressive that we held such a steady monthly user count for the past year.
But now with all the publicity around the fediverse, we are beginning to pick up some organic momentum again. We’ve grown by about 2k active users in January (~5% growth). Keep that up for a few more months and it will start to become noticeable with more activity, which should hopefully start a positive feedback loop.
Regarding finding and subscribing to communities on other instances, I’m pretty sure this tool addresses that problem fairly effectively.

You may want to add your instance to that.
I’m not confident that the internet’s attention span is that long, unfortunately
That’s fair, but also reddit will continue to make unpopular decisions, and we are already the default alternative. Just have to wait and see
