Which seems to not at all come close to representing what you might actually see on Lemmy, not that Lemmy is tiny either.

Has there been any attempt to measure the total active Lemmy userbase? This would depend on the definition of Active but any working definition would be more useful than counting account creation. Something like "posted at least once this quarter".

Check fedidb.org for accurate results.

That site says about 38k monthly active users. I'm not sure if people who only vote are counted in that number (vote-only users is actually a significant chunk).

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 11 points 8 months ago

Its based on what instances report. So instances on 0.19 or above would factor in votes into that number. Ones that arent would not (so the number has a combination of both cases)

Lemmy.world is still not on 0.19 so it might be missing a big chunk there 😅

Yeah theyre still by far #1 in terms of MAU even when not taking into account votes while everyone else is so might bump it up by another 10k
