IMO the constant posts about users dropping aren't from people who want Lemmy to succeed. Anecdotally I haven't noticed a major change, still seems as active if not more than when I joined. Reddit has gotten worse and worse in that time period. I have faith.

I don't even understand where that is coming from, even if the user numbers change the experience could still be the same

I've noticed a couple "it's because they defederated the servers filled with trolls". Federation is bad for numbers, good for user experience.
