Mastodon is definitely growing, and I see it from personal usage that it got a lot more lively over the past year. I think there's always going to be this ebb and flow dynamic happening where we get a wave of new users. Things get really lively for a while, than a lot of users become inactive, and things get quieter again. The dynamic does cause some intermittent issues, but the platforms do become increasingly more robust over time as well. For example, Lemmy was having all kinds of issues handling new waves initially, and over the past year it got a lot more stable. Personally, I'm pretty optimistic with the way things are progressing.

And a couple of articles showing how much growth happened recently:
