How big is Lemmy's user base right now if you take into account all of the Fediverse instances?
How big is Lemmy's user base right now if you take into account all of the Fediverse instances?
There used to be the Alexa ranking for websites but it seems to no exist anymore. Elsewhere I only could find for lemmy.world ranking (something like 55000, yay!) but not the actual userbase, and nothing about any other instance (let alone the entire Fediverse).
You're viewing a single thread.
Thank you! This includes also non-lemmy/non-reddit-like sites, such as Mastodon, PeerTube etc, right? I tried to but couldn't find in your link what is the share of Lemmy instances. EDIT, it took a while to load on my phone but actually there is a “pizza” diagram and lemmy is at about 3% or about 50k MAU as other reply stated. Thanks again!
lemmy is a software platform, so software -> lemmy
45k it is! Many thanks!
keep in mind thats active users. that number is usually a small percentage of unique visitors in any system.
If I recall, the rule of thumb is orders of magnitude. If you have 100 active users, there are probably about 1,000 lurkers, and only 10 substantial users that account for most of your content.
This is the rule from corporate marketing stats, tho, so who knows if the Fedi works the same.
While the user bases of Piefed and Mbin are smaller, they should be included as they federate with Lemmy and interact with our communities.
The same is true of Mastodon but that's a lot harder to count since most Mastodon users are not interacting with Lemmy (since it's a different style of platform - microblog vs link sharing).
