Almost broke 2.5 million daily total users on Lemmy in the last 24 hours.

Good to see, but as with all posts like this, it’s important to note that the really important number is “Active Users” That number has gone up significantly as well, just not as fast as number of accounts.

wow! look at those bots go! go speed racer!

You gotta stop counting total users. Only active users should be counted. We know there's utterly massive numbers of bots being created. Plus people have multiple accounts from trying out different instances even if they'll only use one.

How much is bots tho

Man, so much has changed. Glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

There was a pretty big jump in active instances, too!

Active daily user count is about 50k.

Are any of these accounts bots?

Or maybe how many of these accounts are bots?

Are they all bots?

Daily active users is a much more reliable statistic due to bots

Just wait until Apollo/RIF/etc actually go dark!

gas gas gas

good to see but hope the bots can be purged at some point.

Yeah I just found out about this project/the fediverse, been looking for several weeks for the best replacement to Reddit and this is by far the most promising. Also, as a self-hosting enthusiast, I'm liking this place more and more by the minute. With any luck increased visibility will continue to push activity & content. Power to the people.

First post, post-Reddit 🥴

Spez gettin sweaty

Are these real people or bots? So far lemmy and the fediverse have been great experience I like it and won't go back to reddit. Hope it's real people and we can enjoy this new fresh start!

Apollo user coming over from Reddit

Huzzah!

And now that I’m in the beta for Limbo / Liftoff, I’m loving it. The web experience was not great for me on mobile.

Servers still seem slow though. Posting a comment is slow. Loading images is slow. But I’m not going to complain about that when this kind of explosive growth is happening. Keeping things up at all is impressive.

Even the bots migrated from Reddit.

Look at the graph and the uptick in activity. Note that on June 8, Reddit's u/iamthatis posted Apollo's intent to shut down.

+1, just joined the party.

It shows 50,000 active users per day compared to 2,500,000 total users per day. Most of the difference, presumably, is dormant bot accounts. If they were all activated and started posting one day, they could probably bring the network down.

I'm confused though by the active comments per day being about 100 times the active users per day. Surely users are not commenting 100 times per day on average. Is there something wrong with how the comments are being counted?

The posts count also looks a bit odd, since it means active users are making more than 10 posts a day on average. That seems implausibly high.

These are some really great stats and I'm loving it :D

alright, it's happening

Hopefully Lemmy continues to grow

I’m enjoying it so much more with the app development. Devs trying to accomplish the goal of instilling the feeling of Apollo for us refugees coming. I just needed useful communities, with posts that people reply to with more and more information. Reddit still defeats lemmy there but I’m hoping it changes a bit.

Yet it feels like an echo chamber. My local community I created had 3-4 posts per day until 2 days ago. Now zero people are posting lol

Meaningless metric (mostly bots, we all know that) but active user numbers are also up.

can't wait to see how all of this evolves.
