Active users are what matter. Dormant accounts aren't doing anything.
Comment on we need more users

This is only looking at active users.
If we look at total users and servers across all Fediverse software you can see both are up.
I personally am not interested in making the active user count always go up. The Fediverse maybe better then Silicon Valley, but the health problems being on the internet too much is still there.

IDK if there’s a way to tell on Lemmy whether an account is dormant. I haven’t posted or commented on reddit in years, but I still log in and talk to people over PM. So my account there isn’t dormant, but also has no visible activity.
Anyway someone further up described a big Lemmy problem, which is link dumping. I think on reddit, moderators tend to delete those, unless the poster makes some kind of effort to at least bypass clickbait and say what the link is about.

reddit goes pretty hard against link dumping,or sharing, its bannable offense. reddit also for some reason started cracking down on new and old inactive account as potential bots, so its risky for new users there.

Relatively there are here less US users here compared to Reddit ("only " 50%). Seems the whole demographics is different too.

I don’t see why we should consider accounts that haven’t been used in 6 months, we’re talking about content contributions (posts/comments/votes) and those inactive accounts aren’t doing anything for that
