How did you extrapolate 16000 abandoned accounts when lemmy.world was just created a couple weeks ago?
If you claim that there are 22k accounts, but only 6k of them are active users, then there would be 22k - 6k = 16k abandoned accounts.
What you said still doesnβt make sense.
Normally, an account is considered inactive after a few months of inactivity and subsequently abandoned after maybe a year or more of inactivity (depending on whether the service enforces this).
The oldest account on this instance is about 2 weeks old.
Then one of those two figures is wrong. If the oldest account is 2 weeks old, there should be 22k active users per month instead of 6k. So, I don't know.
The active user count is the count of all unique users from an instance that made a comment or a post within the last month. So that means we have 6k people posting and commenting and 16k lurkers.
