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.”

Woop! Commenting for stats :)
Had to restart my instance so I’m commenting here to make sure I add to the active user count. Looking good, Lemmy! Let’s hope we can keep this momentum going into the next month (and beyond)!
another major shift should happen on July 1st right?
This is just speculation but I think there will be a wave of users in july and it will come in waves as reddit becomes worse and worse more people will eventually migrate.
So not even counting the lurkers
Yeah, lurkers aren’t counted. Only those who have commented or posted within a specified period.
Worth noting we probably have a much higher engagement percentage than the average atm. Young community, cool new idea, gets people excited. Since the service isn’t really ready for primetime yet, the only way to really pitch in and even just vent enthusiasm is to make content. For most of us that don’t have dev skills anyway.
Is there some metrics showing number of users with interactions like upvote/downtote?
I’m gonna comment so as to be counted as active.
Hey me too!

It’s not much. But it’s honest work.
Hello there
I’m not.
Reporting in
Brilliant.
Is this were everyone is hanging out today?
Maybe? We’re both here so…
i opened up this thread with the intention of doing just that— glad to see i’m not the only one lol
Anybody knows if this counts kbin users as well?
No, only lemmy instances. Kbin has a different way of counting active users it seems like.
So, just to understand it better: Lemmy counts only accounts registered at Lemmy’s instances? It wouldn’t count count me as an user (even commenting at Lemmy’s communities) because my account is from Kbin, that’s right?
Exactly

I’ve just registered, read this last night and had to comment just to be a part of it. Happy to find a really good alternative.
The site has felt way more usable in the last week, too. Haven’t had much time to contribute myself, but I was browsing Active last night and thought to myself “hey, this feels just like the Reddit I know and love”
Once the niche communities take the plunge, its endgame for Reddit
I came here from r/sourdough so… getting there
Was not expecting that sub to have 410k members.
Then again, sourdough is great, so I really shouldn’t be surprised.
Count me in
Does this comment make me active now?
That is correct. You would be counted in the next time they run the stats for this instance.
Not sure, let’s rise the odds together 👍
Proud of you 2
Triple threat?
I’ll contribute some activity, as well 🙂
Lurker adding comment so I can be counted.
I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.
We are all testing the waters. After a day i can say that the platform have a huge potential. Just be sure to use a well updated, fully integrated app for the best experience.
I’m really hoping we get more and more users here. I miss having the niche communities that were still populated.
I’ve been here for a couple of days, if anything, I’m pleasantly surprised. This is not Reddit’s first clusterfuck, and although there were alternatives at the time. It’s finally nice to find something that isn’t full of bigots.
That has been the great thing about it, rediscovering that people can talk to strangers on the internet and actually be normal about it. Conversations here don’t seem to devolve into fights as they invariably do on mainstream social sites. And I don’t have to keep explaining to people that it’s possible to care about other people, a concept which several people on Reddit told me was incomprehensible to them.
I am a big lurker and I need to stop
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.
Yeah I lurk for the most part, but I’d like to contribute to some subs someday with the projects I’m working on!
I’m pretty bad about that too, better leave a comment.
Here’s my contribution!
Every now and then lurkers have to prove we’re still here
Okay, here’s my first comment.
Your comment was so insightful I just had to upvote it thus increasing ‘engagement’. Am I helping?
Here ya go.
