Is Lemmy still growing at a good rate? (beehaw.org)

I saw some stats on this months ago, especially after the initial explosion. I’m curious if the growth is still continuing at a good pace and also how everyone feels about the growth/activity within their communities.

Hey, I run my own instance and periodically forget to check if I'm running an out of date version. Would you happen to know if there is any 'version out of date' indication that I've failed to pick up on? Or do I just need to manually check? Or can I get new version notifications by email?

No need to go Google it, I'll make time to search myself eventually -- but if you happen to know, you'd save me some time.

Good to see you're still around!

Yeah I even have... plans.

I've got some circuit boards for a particle spectrometer off at the factory. When they come in, it will probably be the first nuclear technology integration with Lemmy. Probably also the last, but if the user count keeps increasing, who knows!

Particle spectrometers make very good random number generators, and I have a Lemmy bot on my instance that does I-Ching divination that uses an inferior random number source (diode breakdown). I need a particle spectrometer for some science anyway, and it doesn't really cost more to make 2. How could I not, right?
