I think some of the "growth" will be lurkers that start posting more. The word of mouth or other social media growth will probably be very slow after the big surges of members from reddit.
The communities I browse seem more active or at least as active as they were a couple months ago.
The ability to not be killed by a single individual or entity.
Some people probably mean that, while others want a literal transplant or reddit without spez pulling the strings. Part of the challenge of new communities is figuring out what you are, and I think Lemmy is still deep in that stage.
This is how I see things as well. I moved away from lemmy.world because one of their updates completely fucked my account, and since then I've noticed more people doing the same, or complaining about issues with federation.
Anyone who expects Lemmy to become the new reddit is both setting themselves up for disappointment and missing out on the enjoyment of a smaller community imo. People can use reddit/facebook/twitter for doom scrolling if that's their thing.
