Could someone explain how the 2 million users are calculated for Lemmy?
I don’t know if fedidb.org is up to date but there, the total number of users is at 352625.
EDIT: Had to look it up since I wasn’t sure, but I recalled that the 0.19 update changed how MAUs are being counted. Now it includes voters as well.
Previously, site and community activity counts were only based on people who commented, or posted. Those counts now include anyone who voted on a comment or post as well. Thanks to @Ategon for this change.
Yep you’d expect it to climb significantly once .world upgrades. Basically this update messes with the baseline stat a lot so no reason to celebrate, but also no reason to really be fussed either way as long as we’ve got plenty people here to talk to 👍
It’ll definitely shoot up. I’m a world user and vote the majority of the posts I come across. I don’t do a lot of post submission, but do comment as much as I can contribute. I’m sure I’m not alone.
the 2 million here includes the account bots that mass target open signup instances. (if an instance has no restrictions on signing up then they tend to make 8k accounts or something on it). fedidb detects that and excludes it
Yep, Alien.top has over one million accounts alone and they’re all crossposting Reddit spam bot accounts.
More instances need to defederate from that spam instance. Because no matter how many people explain why the project isn’t actually helpful nor does it add real value to Lemmy the person behind it is utterly convinced he’s the smartest person in the fediverse and we all just need to learn to love his spam.
The bots have been disabled for over a month now. lemmy.world is been long defederated with it (which means that you don’t see it) yet you continue to think this is a problem…

I’m on a backup account because instances running 0.19.1 aren’t federating properly so my main isn’t able to post. Not that it’s any of your business in the first place. Now take your bot spam instance, and your vote manipulating alts, and get lost.
The nice thing about open systems is that votes are public. Go check out who is voting down your comments before making baseless accusations, please. Or don’t and continue grasping at whatever straws you can find to justify your hate.

Ah, yeah, there are no where near 2 million HUMAN users. More like about 400k, at least according to FediDB.
TBH it’s more about the 40k active users, which is still great.YMMV.
