Is there a place to watch lemmy user numbers in real time? interested to see if there’s a spike as users try out something else with their new free time.

    The active user count is bullshit in my opinion. We know most users are just reading and not posting or commenting. Those users are invisible in these stats.

    An active user should be anyone who logged into Lemmy in the last 30 days.

    This also means that small instances with a low amount of “active” users could have a lot of users actually using it in silence.

    Active should mean “using Lemmy”, not posting.

      Maybe a good middle ground would be an user that upvotes. That would include all the lurkers, that contribute by upvoting/downvoting.
