Good to see, but as with all posts like this, it’s important to note that the really important number is “Active Users” That number has gone up significantly as well, just not as fast as number of accounts.

Yeah this is a good point.

It took me months to actually start using Lemmy and Mastodon. I would consider myself a tech savvy person and it still took a while getting used too. I think there need to be better tutorials linked on the sign-up pages that help people understand the basic concepts. That would help drive true user acquisition.

I'm also a "tech savvy" and still trying to understand how all this works...

I just started with mastodon. Lemmy I'm pretty understanding at but do you have any people/ hashtags you reccomend following on mastodon to not make the whole place feel so small and repetitive? I'm interested in pretty much anything.

What's considered an "Active User"?

[–] AsepticFuturisticFox@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A person who posted/commented in the last 30 days

From the docs: "Lemmy also shows counts of active users for your site, and its communities. These are counted within the last day, week, month, and half year, and are cached on starting up lemmy, and every hour.

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."

I've posted more in the week I joined here than I ever did in Reddit.

Just checked. Yup, one post. Still helping the fediverse in my book.

[–] Solo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No worries, you absolutely are! Every bit counts.
