    Monthly active users doesn’t really tell much in that short timeframe. This is just the sum of new user accounts, and people that came back

      It’s the sum of new user accounts that posted at least once. Overall there are around 30k new users in the past week.

        hopefully this has been said many times before and at the risk of simping, I just wanted to say “thank you!” to you, dessalines and all other code contributors for slaving away in the mines and standing up useful, working code that solves a real-world social need. Federated social and, in particular, a better reddit will go a long way to helping us figure out better ways forward.

        True, but it doesn’t tell how active people actually are. This could just all be people who check out Lemmy and get bored after an hour and never come back. Active users per day would be a lot more interesting for short timeframes like this.

        I am happy though that many people try out Lemmy, and I hope that many also stick with it.

        That’s honestly impressive. Didn’t expect that much. How are the instances coping (pretty sure a big slice of it went to lemmy.ml)?

    It’s weird that the Y-axis starts at 1000 users, it makes it look like Lemmy was dead before people started moving. Exciting stats nonetheless.

    I’m here from Reddit. The only thing keeping me there was the Reddit is Fun App, now that the API is going away, so is the only thing keeping me there. So, hello Lemmy =).

        I knew it was time to give up when it was clear that they were not only hobbling old.reddit to drive people to newer versions, but they were also hobbling new reddit to drive people to the app lol

    It also looks like the gap between the two is closing, which is good
