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

MicroWave@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 1365 points –

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.

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.

I looked at the front page of Reddit without logging in a few hours ago and the site is almost unrecognizable. I'm sure there are people that prefer this iteration but I'm fine moving on.
