On Fediverse Observer they used to show exactly the same number till several days ago. Regardless, look at the post/active user ratio on Lemmy on fedidb. It’s 1200000/72000 or 16.6. For Kbin it’s 44000/45000 or 0.97. It doesn’t make sense the active users of Kbin to be 16 times less active than Lemmy’s. To me that’s evidence that whatever Kbin is reporting as active users is very different than what’s reported by Lemmy. According to these stats Lemmy has about 27x the posts Kbin has. That number is probably correct since it doesn’t depend on what’s considered active. A post is a post. Yet Lemmy has only 1.6x the active users. That doesn’t make sense.
If you use the total numbers for both from here, you get posts per user ratio of about 0.7 for both. That makes a lot more sense.
Amazing to see, as I look further into these platforms such as Lemmy and Mastodon I love them more and more as they seem to be so much more freeing than current mainstream platforms on the market.
How is that being downvoted it is obviously misleading. It is not users is number of accounts because if you make an account in different instances you count as 2 users but it is actually one so it is misleading. There are 500k accounts not users
When I used Lemmy before the reddit exodus, it was getting like 12 updoots on the front page. I’ve noticed a hugeee difference, this post getting over 1.2k+ upvotes for example. Content is a lot more exciting. Haven’t touched Reddit in like 3 weeks now.
I’ve been full RSS reader, Mastodon, and Lemmy. It feels good.
I guess by full, I mean like full-on. Like most of the content I relied on Reddit for, I could get from RSS feeds. I play Genshin Impact a lot, so I don’t need to visit that sub anymore now that I have an RSS. Also there’s replacement communities on Lemmy now.
Other then that, software or blogs you like, they usually have an RSS feed and then can group them under like a “Tech Blogs” category for example. It’s something you build up over time, and RSS has been around for a long time so most things support it and there’s a million clients out there.
Fun fact, every Lemmy community has an RSS feed to subscribe to as well, even Mastodon profiles! RSS feeds directly grab from the source, so there’s no centralized anything, so it’s probably the most sustainable method of getting method possible.
All in all, I would like to have a bit less circlejerk and start having more diverse content.
Don’t get me wrong, all the beans and old memes is helping a lot with keeping the platform alive and with constant activity, but I think at some point we need to start posting more stuff and make Lemmy more friendly and attractive to newcomers.

Kbin doesn’t seem to track active users. Their total users are the same as their active users.
It’s not the same for me. Total users: 53342 Monthly active users: 40878

Isnt kbin also lemmy? Why the destinction?
No. Kbin is it’s own seperate project and software https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin
But I can read and comment on Lemmy threads from kbin
The magic of ActivityPub
I think the problem is people say lemmy when they mean either. My cheat sheet.
Fediverse: a family of applications that are able to communicate with each other and provide various facilities.
Threadiverse: subset of the fediverse, any federated program providing content aggregation / forum facilities.
Lemmy: the main established application in the genre. Providing a primarily content aggregation and forum redditesque experience.
Kbin: newer project providing the news aggregation and forum features but also micro logging that works with mastadon.
Others I don’t know about but do exist.
reddit asked for it themselves :)
I tried to subscribe to kbin communities from my own instance but they keep getting stuck on “Pending”.
This is a known bug in Lemmy. You are subscribed
Ok I’ll resubscribe because I removed them.
I’m here on lemmy.world but what’s kbin? I didn’t know about whatever that is.
It’s a site that is part of the fediverse, but is not a lemmy instance. It looks different, but it can communicate with all other lemmy instances.
It’s another site in fediverse. It’s a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I’m replying to your comment from kbin :)

Noice!
Lemmy, it’s a new Reddit !
Misleading
Explain.
How is that being downvoted it is obviously misleading. It is not users is number of accounts because if you make an account in different instances you count as 2 users but it is actually one so it is misleading. There are 500k accounts not users
Let’s not call it that, tho. Fucking please.
It was called that for a while.

What do you mean by full RSS reader? What exactly are you looking at?
Thanks for your help

I’m curious, how do you use RSS to stay up to date with Genshin content? What kind of feeds do you follow?

I love that I learn so much on here. Thanks for that explanation!
We keep hitting milestones!
Excellent news
I’m looking forward to the niche communities being active. Some of them are starting to pick up a bit.
I’m looking forward to more beans.
Here you go.
Coffee beans over a c/coffee or c/espresso
All in all, I would like to have a bit less circlejerk and start having more diverse content.
Don’t get me wrong, all the beans and old memes is helping a lot with keeping the platform alive and with constant activity, but I think at some point we need to start posting more stuff and make Lemmy more friendly and attractive to newcomers.
Hope it continues and that it’s not all bots and multiple accounts.
We did it Lemmy!
