A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
The lemmy.world statistics are visible from the home page. There are currently 130,000 registered accounts on lemmy.world which is far larger than any other lemmy instance. Primarily because most other instances had restricted registrations of some sort for awhile.
I can't think of any other website of a similar style that is larger than the entirety of lemmy. The next biggest might be kbin.
First question: Maybe someone will answer. The way the fediverse seems to work, that doesn't really matter. A more interesting, maybe, question is how many people are using Lemmy with all the instances combined.
Second question: I'd be surprised if it isn't.
If you're new and looking for content, browse all and add the communities that interest you, or go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities and start searching up things that look interesting. A lot of the communities are still really low volume, but you can find many with a lot of action.
Remember, lemmy et al., is not a commercial/corpo run forum. It has no monetary incentive to grow exponentially every quarter. There's no shareholders or BOD to bootlick. Let dot world grow organically. Sometimes it will even shrink but one day it may spurt.
https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse might answer at least your first question, tho I have no idea how accurate those numbers really are so take all that information with a grain of salt.
