The total number of active users in the last month would be a much more accurate statistic. The number of users does not give the correct result due to bot accounts.
Expect a crazy peak around July 1st, that's when reddit apps will shutdown, after that things should settle I think.
I imagine there will still be a higher than normal amount of growth, but not as steep, through the rest of the summer as other people give up on Reddit after the changes. Some casual users may not understand what's going on, but they'll notice the changes through July and August without all the 3rd party people and the mods who leave/have left/got removed, which may drive them to alternatives.
Unfortunately these are most bots, which you can see from the active user ratio
What does "active" mean? Are lurkers considered active? Or do you have to vote/comment/post to be considered active?
The vast majority of this "growth" is from bots. It's not genuine, unfortunately.
It's just like 14 people not understanding the software and creating accounts on every instance
I feel personally attacked.
That's uh.... spam! :D
Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam ....spaaaammm glorious spam
