Where they at tho?
We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.
I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀
Everyone wishing for more users might be wishing on a cursed monkey paw. I don’t know what the sweet spot number of active users is — I want more so we can have contributors to niche communities — but there’s a tipping point. You want your favorite bar/restaurant/message boards to be popular but not too popular.
For anyone who needs a reminder: user account ≠ human individual user. There are no bot/captcha protections nor IP restrictions on Lemmy. I'd say we have less than 1 million actual human individual users.
Sweet when are we gonna IPO?
By the way the CIA just called to ask if anyone knows who controls this place and if they want a free tour of the MIT server closet.
Monthly Active Users are unfortunately down for the past several months in a row. Something more needs to happen.
The comparison of users to active monthly users sounds about right .... 10 million users with about 1 million active monthly users
The usual ratio of lurkers to creators .. 10 to 1 ... the majority of everyone just browses no matter which platform it is ... it's the same in any social circle since the dawn of time ... there's only a small group of creators and everyone else just like to watch / read / listen
It’s interesting to see how big the Elon musk twitter takeover affected these numbers. The Reddit exodus is so tiny in comparison. Worth noting that the numbers kept going up after that.
I can't use the "there are dozens of us" joke anymore??
Congratulations Lemmy we are now statistically significant 🥹
Are they active users?
This is probably more appropriate for c/fediverse
That's pretty awesome! It will be interesting to see if we get a noticeable influx with all the moronic moves reddit is making. Here's hoping!
