Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June - Lemmy.world

From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=30]. An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html]. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. We’re really building something here!

The most wonderful part of this, for the unfortunately uncoordinated like me:

scrolling and accidently clicking a random card is now always a random post and not an ad launching a browser window I immediately close and curse.

It’s amazing how bad it got for awhile out there.

Don't worry, I'm working on a solution to this. My proposed Lemmy client will auto-inject ads into your feed so you can really recreate the Reddit experience.

Oh good, I was wondering when I could expect ‘normal’ behavior.

Honestly I wonder if the Lemmy client writers are going to be a strictly patronage model. The wefwef.app team has done a crazy good job illustrating what the free minimum is.

Need to add a bunch of asshole bots to hurl insults as well.
