    Lemmy.nz here

    I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.

      Some users have accounts on more than a single instance, some instances may be malicious, home to just spam/bot accounts.

      Things are looking promising, but it’s still early.

        This is my account on this instance. Jerboa search doesn’t give me a ton of communities when I’m logged into my main lemmy.zip account. And I haven’t figured out a way to load a community manually on mobile that allows me to subscribe with my .zip account, so I add subscriptions infrequently on my laptop.

          @MicroWave IKR! 😎I’ve also subscribed to all of my favorite lemmy/kbin subs and mags too on here, but my feed is a mess now haha 😅 . I think the coming mastodon updates will provide better interfaces for cross service usage. Can’t wait for that feature-set to roll out 🤞!

      If you only include active last month, we are are at about 70k active users. Active meaning posted or commented.

      If you assume 90% are lurking and not active, then that value can be as high as 700k. But likely 2M is off target.

        90-9-1 rule says that you may in fact be correct.

        90% are probably lurkers. But there is a good argument to be made that a lot of the recent growth is from the 9% of contributors on Reddit, and some of the 1% also.

        Currently I suspect that much less than 90% here are lurkers, but that should balance out over time just due to how social communities work.

          You’re likely correct on all of your assumptions, in my opinion :)

      That number contains a huge number of bots. The active users number is a much better way to track the growth of the Threadiverse.
