@MicroWave IKR! 😎I’ve also subscribed to all of my favorite lemmy/kbin subs and mags too on here, but my feed is a mess now haha 😅 . I think the coming mastodon updates will provide better interfaces for cross service usage. Can’t wait for that feature-set to roll out 🤞!
This is my account on this instance. Jerboa search doesn’t give me a ton of communities when I’m logged into my main lemmy.zip account. And I haven’t figured out a way to load a community manually on mobile that allows me to subscribe with my .zip account, so I add subscriptions infrequently on my laptop.
90% are probably lurkers. But there is a good argument to be made that a lot of the recent growth is from the 9% of contributors on Reddit, and some of the 1% also.
Currently I suspect that much less than 90% here are lurkers, but that should balance out over time just due to how social communities work.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to [email protected]!

I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.
That number contains a huge number of bots. The active users number is a much better way to track the growth of the Threadiverse.
@absGeekNZ @MicroWave very nice! also, greetings from mastodon!
So cool that you commented from mastodon.

That’s great! I should play around with subscribing to lemmy with my mastodon account.
@MicroWave Definitely give it a try! Just don’t go too wild with subs like I made the mistake of doing 🤣
Some users have accounts on more than a single instance, some instances may be malicious, home to just spam/bot accounts.
Things are looking promising, but it’s still early.

Kia ora from another lemmy.nz user :)
If you only include active last month, we are are at about 70k active users. Active meaning posted or commented.
If you assume 90% are lurking and not active, then that value can be as high as 700k. But likely 2M is off target.
90-9-1 rule says that you may in fact be correct.

You’re likely correct on all of your assumptions, in my opinion :)
