I assume this latest bump is due to lemmy.world updating and now counting lurkers when assessing active users.
Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted
I think of a lurker as someone who doesn’t post - I guess your definition is someone who doesn’t interact at all (besides making an account and subscribing, I assume). But yes, I mean users who only vote are now counted (it’s not using views afaik).
Don’t forget that Reddit was made up of 90% lurkers, and less than 1% of active posters, the rest would comment but rarely post themselves. These numbers are great if we keep those statistics in mind
Commenters were already counted, though, so this bump is really just the vote-only population getting added. Which is still important to maintaining a healthy and varied front-page, mind you.
Why are they not separated out in any way? There should be separate bins for “active posters” “active commenters” and “active voters”. Otherwise you’re going to get some wacky data problems like this.
My internet experience has been slower since switching to Mastodon and Lemmy/Kbin. And it’s so nice. The things I see are more interesting. The conversations are usually more well thought out. And lowest common denominator dopamine content isn’t being driven into my eyeballs by Algorithms. I’ve legitimately been happier since the Reddit API debacle.
Long live the Old Internet.
Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!
I remember people winning that lemmy is on its decline already. We are back and here to stay
I don’t think that initial peak was ever “real” anyway. I think it was due to people creating multiple accounts on different instances (or maybe even claiming multiple usernames on the same instance) before settling down with the one account they were actually going to consistently use.

Don’t wanna do the ‘ackshually’ thing but it’s a little confusing so, I think you meant whining?
How many are bots
Barely any since fedidb excludes botted instances
The increase here though is cause lemmy.world upgraded to 0.19 and 0.19 includes voters as active users
Beep boop
Good Bot.
If you were in reality a bot, are you confident that you would know?
Definitely.
For a daily view: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Great news. it’s also nice to see they are more accurately counting active users with the latest update. I still think Lemmy will surpast a million active users with in a year or two.
Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it’s not even close
just wish the default ui was better (i currently use photon)
I think the default UI is fine but the good thing is that neither of us are forced to use any UI - we are free to have third party apps and stuff like that :)
I come after the great reddit API purge. Haven’t looked back and I’m happy for it.
I’ve gotten part of my life back as a result.
Me as well. I occasionally peak back to some niche subreddits, but don’t contribute anymore. I’m hoping some pop up here over time.
What are some you’d like to see?
I feel like the sports communities are lacking critical mass and for some reason I just don’t see content from some of the small communities (specifically magic the gathering for me) pop up on my feed. Like it’d be nice the algo pushed them more since I am subbed and want to participate.

Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.
Hell yeah! We’re here,
we’re queer,get used to it!AFAIK, V0.19 adds anyone that votes to MAU instead of just commenters and posters, so any server thats converted is reporting better #s. With Lemmy.world now on 0.19, expect this to be even sharper.
I definitely really like the quality of discussion on Lemmy, it makes me feel like it’s actually worthwhile to comment and discuss things again. It feels like how it felt when I started using reddit back in 2012 or so.
Yep. Been saying for a while that it feels like old Reddit.
I wonder if it’s a nerd-level thing. Reddit devolved as it turned into another social media outlet instead of a niche internet techie place.
It’s also a volume thing. By the time I reach a reddit comment thread what I wanted to say has already been said, and if I say it again my comment will drown in a sea of heavily upvoted comments. On lemmy you can be several days late to the party and still get both upvotes and responses.
That’s it? Wow, a lot fewer people were upset about the loss of 3rd party apps than I thought. We need to add at least 3 more zeroes to that number if this place stands a chance at taking down reddit.
I don’t give two shits about taking down reddit. I just want somewhere else to go, and Lemmy works for that.
Does it need to?
Are you trying to get the bots to migrate too?
I just joined today! So far really enjoying it.
I just came back today! Never did anything before but just subscribed to like 100 sublemmies? Is that the right word lmao?
Welcome back!
Sublemmies, I like it
100 sublemmies? Is that the right word lmao?
no it isn’t, they’re called communities
Nah I read the official documentation they’re definitely sublemmies
There are many sublime sublemmies
