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.

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.

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