Lemmy's active users (content creators) see impressive 35% growth in July so far - Lemmy.world

We’re seeing an increase from 53k active users at the beginning of July to 72k active users at the time of this post According to Lemmy’s documentation, an active user is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Lurkers aren’t considered active users, so basically these are content creators on Lemmy.

It feels like a threshold has been crossed. Reddit related content is there but not so dominating as before. People are memeing other things, news and politics discussion is popping up, particularly popular posts from more niche communities as well, it feels like a much more healthy mix of content now compared to the beginning of July and especially compared to when I joined during the reddit blackout.

Absolutely, and it’s been very refreshing to see discussion get broader and be filled with memes and other interesting content.

It will take a while to get somewhere close to Reddit, but if we talk about how it feels, I see it getting closer and closer day by day.

Considering how toxic reddit was getting, I’m okay if lemmy doesn’t get close to it.
