Lemmy.nz here

I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.

[–] jarfil@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some users have accounts on more than a single instance, some instances may be malicious, home to just spam/bot accounts.

Things are looking promising, but it's still early.

This is my account on this instance. Jerboa search doesn't give me a ton of communities when I'm logged into my main lemmy.zip account. And I haven't figured out a way to load a community manually on mobile that allows me to subscribe with my .zip account, so I add subscriptions infrequently on my laptop.

@absGeekNZ @MicroWave very nice! also, greetings from mastodon!

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So cool that you commented from mastodon.

[–] pandas@are.sexy 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@MicroWave IKR! 😎I've also subscribed to all of my favorite lemmy/kbin subs and mags too on here, but my feed is a mess now haha 😅 . I think the coming mastodon updates will provide better interfaces for cross service usage. Can't wait for that feature-set to roll out 🤞!

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s great! I should play around with subscribing to lemmy with my mastodon account.

[–] pandas@are.sexy 1 points 1 year ago

@MicroWave Definitely give it a try! Just don't go too wild with subs like I made the mistake of doing 🤣

Kia ora from another lemmy.nz user :)

If you only include active last month, we are are at about 70k active users. Active meaning posted or commented.

If you assume 90% are lurking and not active, then that value can be as high as 700k. But likely 2M is off target.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

90-9-1 rule says that you may in fact be correct.

90% are probably lurkers. But there is a good argument to be made that a lot of the recent growth is from the 9% of contributors on Reddit, and some of the 1% also.

Currently I suspect that much less than 90% here are lurkers, but that should balance out over time just due to how social communities work.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

You're likely correct on all of your assumptions, in my opinion :)

[–] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That number contains a huge number of bots. The active users number is a much better way to track the growth of the Threadiverse.
