Doesnt feel like it. None of the posts here gets more than 2k upvotes so I doubt if we have 10 million users. Probably it might be Facebook app users which are defederated?

This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there's a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

that makes sense but 10mil users is hard to believe lol. I tried pixelfed and didn't get any likes on the pics I uploaded, same pic on Instagram fetched 300+ likes.

By the way the CIA just called to ask if anyone knows who controls this place and if they want a free tour of the MIT server closet.

It’s interesting to see how big the Elon musk twitter takeover affected these numbers. The Reddit exodus is so tiny in comparison. Worth noting that the numbers kept going up after that.

Clicking through to the additional statistics is really interesting. The equivalent graph for Monthly Active Users shows a big bump in June/July 2023. That lines up with the reddit event, iirc. If those causality assumptions are accurate, it's neat how the numbers for total users is more affected by Twitter, but the numbers for active users is more affected by Reddit.

EDIT: nevermind, I didn't realize the timelines were different. The big Twitter exodus isn't actually in the second graph, so they can't be compared. It probably had a bigger impact there as well.

Maybe this'll get 1million upvotes lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah!

Time to crack open each other's skulls and feast on the goo inside!

Just need some extroverts and we'll be fine.

Monthly Active Users are unfortunately down for the past several months in a row. Something more needs to happen.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

Healthy grows is exponential. This seems like a growing number of registered accounts, and the number of active users is probably somewhat stable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Up, up, up!

Very impressive. Congrats.

So now we have more users than the entire population of the United Arab Emirates (according to worldometers.info), and we could potentially reach the population of Tajikistan soon enough.

I had no idea this was a My Little Pony thing (never was a massive fan of the franchise)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Then you haven't seen fan-made HoI4 mod Equestria at War. In that mod there is even country Stalliongrad with ponies like Caramel Marks and Fire Angel.

Wow. That's some pretty insane stuff.

And by insane, I mean insanely cool.
