From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023.
According to Lemmy's documentation, "An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame."

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.
Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.
With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.
I already didn't read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.
Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.
I'm gonna comment so as to be counted as active.
Upping the active count, no lurking for me
So not even counting the lurkers
Yeah, lurkers aren't counted. Only those who have commented or posted within a specified period.
this keeps getting touted but isn’t it a huge number of bots causing the rise?
Bots have inflated the total users count (around 2.4 million), but they aren't active (yet). So for now active users is a recommended way to measure the fediverse. But once bots start posting, we'll have to find another way to track real user activity.
My understanding is that's causing the rise in accounts (2.5m!) not the active accounts data
Everyone online is a bot except you.
Finally I know what counts as an active user thank you!
Now this is a metric I can get behind, instead of the million bot accounts
To be honest, i am using reddit via Apollo and lemmy but as soon as that shuts down im transitioning to lemmy full time.
I'm on some cracked official Reddit app that has the ads fully removed. I am not sure if it will still work afterwards but switching to Lemmy anyway.
I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.
Agreed. I imagine the devs and admins here are looking at it as a bit of a deadline of sorts. It's going to be a big bump in traffic, best to have as much as you can in place.
If you can have useable app out by then, you'll get a big sudden surge in interest. It's just a really nice opportunity for an aspiring dev.
Found my way here as part of the Grand Reddit Migration. Applying for refugee status please. (1st day on Lemmy, looks good gotta say)
Oh so lurkers aren't counted as active? That's even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.
Indeed! That would be me, but I would now like to contribute to the totals so I am contributing this fairly worthless comment!
Another relatively useless comment! Just to contribute :)
I've probably posted as much in Lemmy in a couple weeks as I did on reddit in several years, but as the say, be the change you want to see.
Okay, here's my first comment.
There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.
100% honestly, I'm not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it's interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances' content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!
This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
Man, I knew I made the right decision to promote "Barbie" on this Lemonworld thing instead of reddit.
Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it's full steam ahead.
Sync for Lemmy should drop in a few days. You should subscribe to the Sync dev's official community for it: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Lemmy feels really good compared to reddit
People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can't move if they don't know where the apps are going.
Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android
and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.
let's go!
Much better metric to see how Lemmy is growing
Just found lemmy today, and I'm already liking it
Always lurked on Reddit but happy to be counted as active on Lemmy!
Giving this place a shot... Can't be worse than Reddit
Adding a comment to ensure I'm being flagged as active. Can't remember if I've posted or commented since joining.
Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.
Same
The numbers have to be higher. I've been lurking so far without commenting. I Imagin a lot of other people have been too.
Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!
I'll also become active with this comment so I can be counted!
My first comment here so that I’ll be counted as a ‘User’!
Previously uncounted lurker also commenting for the stats.
gas gas gas
+1-I'm doing my part
