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!
I’ve been using reddit and RIF for 10 years. I’ll probably still use old.reddit on desktop, but if they ever decide to shut that down I’m gone for good. Hoping Lemmy can be my go-to for mobile.
