Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June
From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source.
An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. There are currently almost 200k total users spread across the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances.
I just joined through lemmy world and I'm using the Connect app on Android. Just installed Mastodon too. I'm just going to be checking out everything I can, and I'll probably go try to learn more about this whole fediverse thing because it's all new to me.
