Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good

CosmicCleric@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

at 1 million active users though. Just need enough critical mass to be able to branch into more smaller sublemmys which draws in the fans of those subs specifically

I was responding kind of someone else as well, but where are these numbers coming from?

Is it truly 1 million? Or maybe 500k? Or maybe 2 million?

People seem to be using numbers so arbitrarily.

I think somewhere between 1-4 million would be a good cross section of interests without a critical mass of users

  500K (for example) people talking in communities wouldn’t be enough?
  
  How did you derive the 1-4 million number?

    Just a really quick estimate based on the size of the subreddits I once enjoyed that by their nature need to be larger. Things like /r/cfb, /r/nba, /r/FreeFolk
