Happy 10 million! According to FediDB, we have hit 10 million users across the Fediverse!

Where they at tho?

We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.

I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀

Everyone wishing for more users might be wishing on a cursed monkey paw. I don’t know what the sweet spot number of active users is — I want more so we can have contributors to niche communities — but there’s a tipping point. You want your favorite bar/restaurant/message boards to be popular but not too popular.

For anyone who needs a reminder: user account ≠ human individual user. There are no bot/captcha protections nor IP restrictions on Lemmy. I'd say we have less than 1 million actual human individual users.

Monthly Active Users are unfortunately down for the past several months in a row. Something more needs to happen.

The comparison of users to active monthly users sounds about right .... 10 million users with about 1 million active monthly users

The usual ratio of lurkers to creators .. 10 to 1 ... the majority of everyone just browses no matter which platform it is ... it's the same in any social circle since the dawn of time ... there's only a small group of creators and everyone else just like to watch / read / listen

It’s interesting to see how big the Elon musk twitter takeover affected these numbers. The Reddit exodus is so tiny in comparison. Worth noting that the numbers kept going up after that.

I can't use the "there are dozens of us" joke anymore??

Congratulations Lemmy we are now statistically significant 🥹

Like most of us, I'd love to see more active users. But the limited quantity is of much better quality here. Reddit is a cesspool of cliques and groupthink.

Are they active users?

This is probably more appropriate for c/fediverse

That's pretty awesome! It will be interesting to see if we get a noticeable influx with all the moronic moves reddit is making. Here's hoping!

So now we have more users than the entire population of the United Arab Emirates (according to worldometers.info), and we could potentially reach the population of Tajikistan soon enough.

Happy Fediverse everyone!

Boop beep,

Fuck yes. Let's keep it going.

Yeah!

Time to crack open each other's skulls and feast on the goo inside!

While atproto has reached 5m.

Doesnt feel like it. None of the posts here gets more than 2k upvotes so I doubt if we have 10 million users. Probably it might be Facebook app users which are defederated?

how many of them are dummy accounts or bots?

Welp. I sure didn't win that betting pool.

I'm gonna feel really silly if anyone finds out my best guess was like, maybe, 1500.

Maybe this'll get 1million upvotes lol

Up, up, up!

Just need some extroverts and we'll be fine.

Healthy grows is exponential. This seems like a growing number of registered accounts, and the number of active users is probably somewhat stable.

Okay
