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.
We’re really building something here!
Awesome thanks I’ll give it a try. Using Connect right now and love it so far. Also got Jerboa and will be trying it as well.
Jerboa is nice but it’s having some widespread bugs right now. Hopefully things get ironed out with the next update, but for now the instance lemmy.world is having trouble communicating with the rest of the Fediverse. I had weird issues with Connect too where it wouldn’t let me post because it didn’t recognize community names, despite being on the community before hitting the “post” button.
I’m browsing in Firefox at the moment, it seems stable at least.
Feeling the hit with Jerboa as well, but Firefox is running nice and smooth with Lemmy right now. Going to definitely work with more apps to see which work best.
