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!

Curious to see the July numbers.. :o

Yeah, I think a lot of people waited until the Reddit apps were actually killed before making the switch (myself included).

I'm looking at the Lemmy instances webpage https://the-federation.info/platform/73

Why are so many instances closed for sign-ups? Doesn't seem like a good thing for the potential July 1st deluge of new users.

Guess i’ll just post to add to the numbers because I have nothing worthy to add! 😐

New lemmy account checking in as active! I'll grab the popcorn 🍿

Using a friend's instance now, but plan to create my own instance here soon as well. Excited to see the reddit influx, I've been waiting for over 10 years to see something like this happen, tracking federation since StatusNet

I wonder what it will be in July 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not to be a Debra downer but until we have a way of accurately IDing bots / auto-generated accounts these numbers should have a massive asterisk on them, it's interesting but not an indicator of quality

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lemme add to the statistics a little :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We’re all numbers haha

I signed up today. It's working for me in chrome but the mlem app isn't recognizing my username or email. I'll give it some time. It was sad this morning when Apollo was dead. RIP 3rd party apps and the Reddit that lives only in memory.

Ove had similar issues getting started but definitely worth seeing where this grows

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know what Lemmy is but since Reddit killed my Baconreader, I couldn't go support their garbage app. So this seems nice.

Getting used to things here. Signed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.

Came here after hearing that Sync is being developed for this app! Can't wait to use it. Hoping this community will keep growing 💗
