I think Lemmy's Fediverse is harder to censor as well? They have a sprawl of domains that can federate to censored ones.

I'm being rate limited by Reddit about 1 hour after posting a post staying that my post was in protest of the upcoming API changes.

Also, I requested my data 2 days ago, but for not get rate limited until directly after my post.

I've never had this happen to me before. Anyone else care to try and duplicate... For science?##

I would like to contribute to our numbers!

I'm happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I'm not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don't "get" the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Giving this place a shot... Can't be worse than Reddit

Would love an iOS app or third party app but Lemmy is still good on the web 👍

This seems like very important information worth sharing in general but also wherever these stats are posted including in the software itself (via (?) or tooltip).

It also means that the real number of active users, which includes lurkers, is actually higher.

I still think the majority of registered users are bots though. I don't think we have actually have 2,000,000 people on here.

What's a good estimate of lurkers? 10% of actives? 200% of actives?

Anybody knows if this counts kbin users as well?

@MicroWave I had never heard of the Fediverse or kbin before the protests on Reddit. I’m really hoping this all takes off. I’ve been enjoying my time here so far.
