Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

FYI, Lemmy doesn’t count lurkers as active users. Here’s how Lemmy counts active users:

An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame. For site counts, only local users are counted. For community counts, federated users are included.

This alone will make a huge difference with other platforms that will hide that info under seven wraps an report any and all accounts as active users.

Reddit with their "subscriber" counts

Who cares your community has 100000 subs. 90000 of them are duplicates or gone.
