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.

    Those are some big boy numbers. 2 mil posts and almost 1/4mil active users. Getting there!

      138k active users to 554k total users is about 25%, which I would imagine is significantly higher than most social media.

      Is someone marked an active user if they ever voted or posted a comment/post, or do they drop off if they haven’t done so in 14 days?

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

        Active is only creating a post or comment. Voting doesn’t count. Simply because of how Lemmy counts, which will be different to how bigger sites count their own users.

        But also Lemmy really took off over the past 2 months. So if people signed up, posted once, then never came back, they will still be listed as an active user because of how little time has passed.
