Good to see, but as with all posts like this, it’s important to note that the really important number is “Active Users” That number has gone up significantly as well, just not as fast as number of accounts.

wow! look at those bots go! go speed racer!

You gotta stop counting total users. Only active users should be counted. We know there's utterly massive numbers of bots being created. Plus people have multiple accounts from trying out different instances even if they'll only use one.

How much is bots tho

Man, so much has changed. Glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

Just wait until Apollo/RIF/etc actually go dark!

Daily active users is a much more reliable statistic due to bots

There was a pretty big jump in active instances, too!

Active daily user count is about 50k.

Are any of these accounts bots?

Or maybe how many of these accounts are bots?

Are they all bots?

Yeah I just found out about this project/the fediverse, been looking for several weeks for the best replacement to Reddit and this is by far the most promising. Also, as a self-hosting enthusiast, I'm liking this place more and more by the minute. With any luck increased visibility will continue to push activity & content. Power to the people.

Spez gettin sweaty

First post, post-Reddit 🥴

good to see but hope the bots can be purged at some point.

Are these real people or bots? So far lemmy and the fediverse have been great experience I like it and won't go back to reddit. Hope it's real people and we can enjoy this new fresh start!
