How big is lemmy nowadays (sh.itjust.works)

I discovered lemmy back when reddit started to charge for their API. However upon taking a look at it, it seemed that apart from like 8 communities,there was not much going on elsewhere. Things seem to have changed since then, quite a lot of active communities these days. So how many users do yall reckon lemmy has now? Is it close to 5M? or perhaps even higher?

I guess the question is “is bigger better for an internet community?” Like, old forums were a lot more interesting then today’s giants (Reddit etc), even if not much was posted from day to day
