mesaHappy 10 million! According to FediDB, we have hit 10 million users across the Fediverse!
TheImpressiveXAre they active users?
Are they bots pretending to be people?

Good bot.
Beep thank you please sent your feedbacks to shadyasfuck.com so we can improve our service Boop.
Snot FlickermanOn the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.
You think people would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?
Sounds like something a cat would say.
Meow meow
Yep. But, it can still be pretty ruff, when someone mentions that my posts about squirrels are arf-putting.
Nope, that’s gotta just be registered users. We’re kidding ourselves and don’t even have 200k active users
Although FediDB claims we have about 418k active
spadufNope. That’s 418k total. 38k active
eraticThat is just lemmy.
Shit. I misread. That’s for the whole fediverse… 🤦♂️
But still…no way that’s active users
Happy Fediverse everyone!
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!
RBGWouldn’t count on it. I was curious what people saying about the IPO news and checked comments. "Where will we go now?“ comes up quite often and very few people even mention Lemmy, at least in the post I looked at.
And I don’t think that’s bad, I’d rather like users who want to be here and not getting pushed here.
If not Lenny, what else? Last summer I looked around and Lemmy seemed to be by far the largest that wasn’t on a single topic (ex, Hacker news)
HubiThere are a bunch of alternatives like Tildes and Raddle, but they are tiny in comparison. Lemmy is the place to be if you want a reddit-style platform.
BlueKeyMay I suggest Kbin (or Mbin).
It is compatible to Lemmys posts and voting and has also Microblogging.

Kbin doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. The repos are dead (one commit in the last two months, written in php which is not promising for new contributors), there’s really only one instance of it, and I don’t know of any communities hosted there. There’s also no app support, which is crucial for me to actually use the platform. The concept is good so I’d love to see it continue, but I also wouldn’t invest anything in the platform at this time.
Kbin is developed by mostly one person, so yes, it progresses quite slowly.
But there is also Mbin with many improvements and much more active development.
I'm fully with you, that an API is still missing and would love to see it implemented in the future.
Agreed. I don’t want lemmy to turn into reddit, but we could do with more users for sure. I am guilty of not posting / commenting much.
That’s one change I’m making from my Reddit days. For a community to succeed it has to build, and I’ve already found some cool people!
As reddit refugee the biggest plus of lemmy is the ease in which it feels. Almost like visiting Canada from the States… But the longer you stay the difference are clearer.
Ive had to change my habits, I was a lurker on reddit and realize abunch of lurkers moved over and are just looking for traction ans information. I now receive just about all of the news I was learning from reddit and the last push is engagement.
The other added bonus is commenting here is not commenting on reddit. Ppl are interested in a dialogue even if they disagree with your point. This will be what saves lemmy.
Im finding more people are engaged here. On reddit, often times my messages get no responses. On lemmy, Ill at least get something.
IninewCrowThe 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
Sabata11792Not everyone is interesting.
That’s what everyone would like us to believe. Everyone has a unique story and background and to me they are all interesting.
It’s just that we are all conditioned to think that we are not worthy enough to share our stories. If we believe we aren’t worthy … then we are not. But the opposite is also true, if we believe we are good enough and that our stories are worthy, then they take on a life of their own and become important.
I always enjoy quoting George Carlin because he was a proponent of the power of belief … society and the individuals in that society believe whatever they want to believe
“I have as much power as the pope … I just don’t have as many people who believe it” - George Carlin
If people are genuinely interested, I had a startle getting my ID renewed today. Security at the courthouse had to hang onto my keys since I forgot to take a key knife off my ring. All went well, but the cops giving me the sink eye for a moment was uncomfortable. At least they didn't make fun of the anime waifu on the keyring.
ThalesAt least you didn’t bring an acorn with you.
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 👀
They’re on Mastodon and Misskey for the most part.
Wait what’s Misskey?
It’s a Mastodon type microblogging service but I think I read it’s popular in Japan and South Korea.
uisBasically bloated mastodon
Just how many are there for micro blogging? I saw pleroma and akkoma too.
pruwybenThere must be a dozen or so Misskey forks. I know of Sharkey, Firefish, and Iceshrimp.
On this end we also have Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Piefed, and I think one or two more
There are a lot of forks of Misskey which are more popular in the “West”. I recommend you to have a look at Firefish, Iceshrimp, Catodon or Sharkey. Firefish used to gain a lot of traction but there was some personal drama going on with the original maintainer, causing the project to feel unmaintained for a while. Luckily the do have a new maintainer now. Anyway partially due to this problem some folk like the former community manager created a new fork Catodon. Iceshrimp also another direct fork of Firefish. So a bit of trivia from the FOSS Mastodon world. In the you might as well just use Mastodon if you are fine with the UI. But I love that we have so much variety in the FOSS ActivityPub World.
I think a lot of the refugees from Reddit are lurkers.
Hehehehe… lurk lurk
Lurkmore
mckeanLurkmore who?
I heard it’s something like 90% of people lurk, 10% of people comment, 1% of people post. So you need a pretty substantial population just to have enough posts and comments for the lurkers to still hang around.
It’s also why it was particularly dumb of Reddit to piss off their 1% and 10%.
flameguy21Can confirm. I don’t talk much lol.
You really gonna call me out like that, homeslice?
And now I know your exact age, homeskillet.
THE MASTERMINDWhich is ? Come on tell me i wanna know homeskillet’s age.
Personal experience bets gen x.
46 years old. I’ll take the over for a pack of garbage pack kids.
GregorTacTacYou just described me.
It’s just a bad habit for me really. I’m so used to reddit immediately slaughtering anyone who doesn’t conform with the hivemind even though Lemmy isn’t like that
catculationAs per the website there are around 900 active users on lemmy
I recently joined the fediverse both lemmy and mastodon and tbh lemmy is more active. Mastodon is just an echo chamber only bots are reposting from reddit and twitter.
join-lemmy.org/instances says that there are 41k monthly active users.
I believe that’s 900 active servers, not users.
Yeah my bad. Just checked again MAU are ~38k
Depends. Bronies post stuff on mastodon. But there is group of servers(with mastodon.art) that block some brony instances.
