Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.
It’s incredibly active. It’s not gigagigant size, like masto, but it has a userbase large enough to survive for many years without an infusion. Reddit is still censoring lemmy sites, in case anyone else is curious
People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don't need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.
Even many regional message boards or forums we're very active. Boards.ie in Ireland was the nerds internet forum. A fediverse before there was one. It was the go to for info about anything tech related or internet culture. Whirlpool in Australia is still the go to for info about internet and broadband, and is still active, if much reduced.

Wow, really? That is hilarious
They had to learn something from digg
This is looking at total users, but I think monthly active users would be a better stat to use here. Lemmy has about 3 times the MAU of Misskey.
Edit: Also worth noting that Pixelfed has close to 3 times Lemmy's MAU now.
I'm not sure how this is measured, but from what I've seen by using mastodon a bit, they have a lot of bots that repost content from other sources, so in that way it feels a lot less active.
