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!
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.
