Nearly 13 million apparently. The active users count is more useful for weeding out bots and people who sign up and then forget about it. I’m not sure where that stands.
This website here (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy) that tracks Lemmy statistics shows around 60,000 monthly active users but no telling how accurate this is. It seems we’re in the middle of a major event taking place with people shifting over so it could take some time before we know how many people really left Reddit and moved here.
The largest current Lemmy instance alone (lemmy.world) only came into being a little over a month ago, just about the time Reddit dropped their stink-turd announcement about their intent to API-price third-party apps out of existence.
It now sits at about 80k users. It was right at 60k just before those apps stopped working, so it’s grown significantly just in the last 48 hours. No idea how long we can sustain this kind of growth, but it’s good to see this space blossoming into its own cool thing.
