Is Lemmy actually growing? (lemmy.world)

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

I think the premise is flawed. Most of us have been brought up in a world that preaches "if you're not growing, you're dying." That mindset is harmful in a whole host of ways. I have no idea if lemmy is growing or not, but it's quite possible, perhaps even preferable, for a service/site/mom-and-pop shop to be sustainable without unending growth.

Cancer grows continuously. Obviously we should model everything on that.
