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.
Yeah it's just an app on the play store for Android. I didn't know anything about it, but after using it for like a day I've gotten used to it. I migrated from RIF.
The main thing that bothers me about Connect are the 'Material You' colours. Can't figure out how to get it just black and white. So for now I'm on Jerboa.
