There are three things that are required for an open source platform to thrive. It needs developers to maintain the code and add features, volunteers to host servers, and users to generate content on the platform. I’d argue that Lemmy is already largely sustainable in all three categories today.

Those are great points, and we do hit them mostly.

I wish we had a few more core devs on the lemmy project taking on issues, but I think we'll get there eventually. We def already have a healthy ecosystem of apps and app developers now that makes lemmy's future a bright one.

And while we don't need constant growth of users, it's great to see a lot of people enjoying lemmy and sticking around.

For sure, it's really nice to see the community grow, and I find most people tend to be generally positive, especially on Lemmygrad. I suspect that having separate instances helps in this regard since people can just join an instance that suits them. I'm really excited to see what's in store for Lemmy in 2024. And kudos on all the amazing work you're doing on the platform. You've built an amazing thing, and I'm thankful to have this space with so many comrades. :)
