Remember when forums would be super active with, like, 500 users?
"Millions of users" is a vanity stat. The critical mass needed to keep a discussion group alive is actually quite small -- assuming you're interested in, you know, discussing things. So, how active "Lemmy" is is entirely dependent on which topics you're interested in.

There is a point where a forum is too active and you need to either split it or implement weird and complex rules so things don't get too large.
-
Hasn't Lemmy sort of already accomplished that both with federated servers and communities?
-
No. Federation means I'm on a mbin serner and still interacting with lemmy. If a community goes big there is no way to enforce who goes to which split.
-
yes, the only benefit more users would have is allowing niche games/topics to have flourishing communities within it.
