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 en mass). fedidb detects that and excludes it
Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it.

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.

Yep, Alien.top has 1 million accounts alone and they’re all crossposting Reddit spam accounts. More instances need to defederate from that spam instance.

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…
Dankry@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m on an alt because instances running 0.19.1 aren’t federating properly. Not that it’s any of your fucking business in the first place.

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

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.
