From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023.
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.”

It is very clear that new content per day has been steadily increasing the past 14 days.
Lemmy is no longer just promising, it is already good. With signs of getting even better.
With more active users, more niche communities should soon be able to do fine too.
I already didn’t read past the first few hundred comments on reddit- Lemmy already feels almost as good to use, way more than mastodon did coming from Twitter.

Watching the last 3 weeks has been exciting. Dead subs springing to life & much more content. New subs every single day.
Oh so lurkers aren’t counted as active? That’s even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.
Okay, here’s my first comment.
Good job! 🎉
Indeed! That would be me, but I would now like to contribute to the totals so I am contributing this fairly worthless comment!
Another relatively useless comment! Just to contribute :)
I’ve probably posted as much in Lemmy in a couple weeks as I did on reddit in several years, but as the say, be the change you want to see.
Here’s my contribution!
Yeah I lurk for the most part, but I’d like to contribute to some subs someday with the projects I’m working on!
Every now and then lurkers have to prove we’re still here
Here ya go.
There will probably be another bump on July 1st, and probably more to come as Reddit makes more horrible decisions going forward.
100% honestly, I’m not married to the whole concept of the Fediverse - I think it’s interesting and solves some problems plaguing modern social media, but has other issues of its own - but Lemmy has, overall, put out a good showing in the various instances’ content so far. So here I am with an account and actively posting. Looking forward to continued growth!
So active users doesn’t include users who are only browsing/voting on posts? If so that’s even more impressive.
Upping the active count, no lurking for me
This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
have been loving it so far, the jerboa app is either a bit buggy or this instance is having troubles
wishing sync devs could eventually adapt for lemmy, as i really liked the ui
The sync dev is currently working on a Lemmy version. It won’t be long.
From what I’ve heard, this instance should be able to upgrade to 18.1 this week, and that’ll help with bugs big-time, just had to wait because version 18 did away with captcha and that’s needed to help keep out the swarm of bots.
The site has felt way more usable in the last week, too. Haven’t had much time to contribute myself, but I was browsing Active last night and thought to myself “hey, this feels just like the Reddit I know and love”
Once the niche communities take the plunge, its endgame for Reddit
I came here from r/sourdough so… getting there
Was not expecting that sub to have 410k members.
Then again, sourdough is great, so I really shouldn’t be surprised.
Checking in (￣ー￣)ゞ
Signed up like 15 minutes ago, count me in
Welcome! Search Lemmy for “3 Day No Poop” to be totally caught up with last week’s major events here.

I just signed up. Coming from reddit. Hopefully this is a good alternative.
We are all testing the waters. After a day i can say that the platform have a huge potential. Just be sure to use a well updated, fully integrated app for the best experience.
I’m really hoping we get more and more users here. I miss having the niche communities that were still populated.
I’ve been here for a couple of days, if anything, I’m pleasantly surprised. This is not Reddit’s first clusterfuck, and although there were alternatives at the time. It’s finally nice to find something that isn’t full of bigots.
That has been the great thing about it, rediscovering that people can talk to strangers on the internet and actually be normal about it. Conversations here don’t seem to devolve into fights as they invariably do on mainstream social sites. And I don’t have to keep explaining to people that it’s possible to care about other people, a concept which several people on Reddit told me was incomprehensible to them.
Me too!
Man, I knew I made the right decision to promote “Barbie” on this Lemonworld thing instead of reddit.
Oh, hi Margot Robbie. I loved you in Suicide Squad… the first one, I couldn’t be bothered to watch the second one. Sorry 😅
Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.
Same
Hello, I see you 👁️👄👁️
Same here.
Hello fellow lemmitors?
Lemmingtons?
Lemmites? Make Ned Ludd proud.
Yup same, testing
Previously uncounted lurker also commenting for the stats.
I’ve definitely noticed the uptick in the number of communities and new posts. Exciting times.
