    Maybe people don’t know which instance to use and just made several… Raw stats doesn’t show the real number of people. I made like 4 on different instances when I joined.

      That is a thing, although I believe the vast majority has only one account. Some two, much fewer more. It is only natural that those with more accounts are more visible in conversations - much less people will tell you they made only one account, because they aren’t that much aware of that possibility.

      But mostly, I believe the multi account crew is dwarfed by the bot army. So overall, the multi accounts probably don’t change much about the numbers.

      This is me.

      Made like 4 accounts for different instances, and then my app Im using just congregates them all onto a default view like looking at a reddit home page with different subreddits

      It’s pretty confusing as a new user

        That’s how this ‘federation’ thing works, you don’t need multiple accounts for that.

      I’ve missed Reddit but I’m realizing now the number of times I’ve reflex clicked Apollo that my usage was unhealthily heavy.

      I’m enjoying Lemmy and due to both it being new and more empty (but enjoyable!) I’m online much less and I think it’s a good change.

      That plus the communities here are small enough that k feel like my posts or comments are actually seen and responded to now which is nice!

      This has been an easier transition than mastodon. On Twitter I relied on specific people’s content to feel like it was worth my time. Not all of them moved over or posted much

      On Reddit I just need replies in topics and it can be by anyone

        I’d like to move to Mastodon so badly, but none of the people I follow (mostly YouTubers) have moved there so I don’t have any reason to be on mastodon…

        with lemmy it’s way easier because I don’t need certain people to be here

      Totally.

      There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I’m glad to get away from that.

      There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.

        It’s actually quite refreshing typing out a comment and not just erasing what I wrote right away like I would always do on Reddit. I always felt like there was hardly a point putting effort into comments on Reddit, unless I was on a more niche sub. Now, everywhere is niche!

        I heard the rule of thumb with social media is 1/9/90. 1% are poster/content creators 9% are commenters 90% are lurkers

        Just need to attract that 1% and the house of cards comes tumbling down.

              I am one of them. I try to comment now on Lemmy especially when I see other people mention being Reddit lurkers.

              It’s something small that means a lot when added together. One comment a day means you are an active user.

      And also it’s not really due to reddit, it’s mostly the twitter changes that make their users switch to Mastodon.

        They do for some reason, we have had a serious problem of thousands of bots registering on instances with no protection, admins have been working hard to put the situation back into control.

        There’s almost 2 million zombie accounts on random unknown instances that have captchas disabled.

        All the main instances should be almost all legitimate users.

        If memory holds, server admins can require any of (or none of) capchas, email verification, or manual approval for making a new account. They can also fully disable the ability to make accounts.

        After being here a few weeks, your “home” server doesn’t matter too terribly much, as long as it stays federated with other servers. You can subscribe to communities (subreddits) in other servers and they’ll appear on your feed. It’s kinda cool. You do have to do a little more work building your communities you want to see and participating, as there no algorithm to tell you what to see. It’s with it though! Sort by Hot or Top Day and you’re good to go!

    I’m pretty certain this is just mastodon users, the Lemmy and Kbin usercounts are quite tricky to track.

    This recent push of Masto users I believe were being attributed to musks rate limits and restriction of anonymous reading of tweets.

      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.

    Hopefully the onboarding process is made easier, I am not saying it’s hard - it’s just not as simple than something like Reddit.

    The federated aspect of things needs to be explained and dumbed down a little, hopefully apps can come in to bridge that gap.

    Otherwise enjoying it!

      That’s Mastodon yes, and mostly due to twitter messing up. Lemmy users are nowhere near these numbers, but yes it’s still nice to see!
