Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing? (lemmings.world)

Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

I sin and still use reddit. Lately I've seen an increase of users there suggesting them to come here when unpopular changes are happening to reddit. Those comments are normally quite high up with a lot of discussion surrounding it so I assume it is attracting some of them to come here. When this place has enough content for my feed I'll eventually ditch reddit but in the meantime I'll still use both.

i actually believe lemmy should cross post to reddit, just so redditors can get exposure to lemmy. I got banned off of reddit years ago so I have little idea whats going on over there, i just see on lemmy that reddit has used ai based bots for moderating. I'm pretty much thinking of niche things to build up to help produce more content

On my feed I don't see much that could be crossposted to reddit. Lemmy has it's own culture which probably clashes somewhat with reddit. The best thing imo is creating content within lemmy's quieter communities. I do now and then but I'm not a massive poster or commentor.
