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.”

I’m gonna comment so as to be counted as active.
i opened up this thread with the intention of doing just that— glad to see i’m not the only one lol
I’m not.
Reporting in
Brilliant.
Hey me too!

Hello there
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.
Mastodon is simply not as good. Lemmy achieves its objectives very cleanly and seems to leverage ActivityPub the best in the fediverse by far.
Oh so lurkers aren’t counted as active? That’s even promising since many users on any site never comment or post.
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!
Every now and then lurkers have to prove we’re still here
Yeah I lurk for the most part, but I’d like to contribute to some subs someday with the projects I’m working on!
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 😅
Note to self: Don’t let people watch the first Suicide Squad movie.
Even if you do nothing else, make sure to upvote content and comments, and subscribe to communities. Bringing content over from reddit (or even just googling stuff) to the new applicable community would be extra helpful (a lot of empty communities at the moment).
Things keep looking better here, so I’m optimistic about lemmy.
Upping the active count, no lurking for me

So not even counting the lurkers
Yeah, lurkers aren’t counted. Only those who have commented or posted within a specified period.
Worth noting we probably have a much higher engagement percentage than the average atm. Young community, cool new idea, gets people excited. Since the service isn’t really ready for primetime yet, the only way to really pitch in and even just vent enthusiasm is to make content. For most of us that don’t have dev skills anyway.
I’ve been mostly a lurker on Reddit for the past 10 years but something about Lemmy just makes me want to engage in the community more than reddit ever has. Also it’s incredibly impressive how quickly lemmy improved over the last weeks.
I agree. I lurked on Reddit for most of my time there. But here, it feels like I can get a fresh start and be a part of a new community. Kinda feels like I have a responsibility too. I want this place to succeed, so I have to contribute.
I still think that Lemmy needs to be more user-friendly before it starts to gain a lot of traction. Right now, the decentralization is an aspect that makes it so great, but it also creates a lot of pain points.
This feels great. The posts right now seem a lot more genuine compared to reddit lately. Keep it up!
I’m here to boost that active user number. Hoping this takes off.
Count me in. Now I can resume lurking.
Huzzah!
People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can’t move if they don’t know where the apps are going.
Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android
and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.
Lemmy looked a bit complex, coming from Reddit, with the great app Sync for Reddit, but I like it here so far. Hoping Sync for Lemmy will soon be there!
Just been lurking until now but I guess we can +1 that active user count. Just waiting for sync to add a lemmy app and then it’s full steam ahead.
Sync for Lemmy should drop in a few days. You should subscribe to the Sync dev’s official community for it: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Sync is reddit to me, so when it goes down I can’t see myself going back. I set up a Lemmy account yesterday and am impressed so far knowing it’s still in the early stages. I’m excited to see what LJ can do with Lemmy.
Then you should subscribe to LJ’s official Sync for Lemmy community: https://lemmy.world/c/syncforlemmy
Commenting to become active
I’ll also become active with this comment so I can be counted!
