I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.
There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.
Whaaaaa???? Last I heard there was like 60k Lemmy accounts total. What the fuck happened since October???

Feel free to share if you find a better one!
You're not the first one commenting on it, but it seems like it's the only graph we have about those stats at the moment.
Aside, looks like pixelfed is growing too?
these stats areee... not the best? fuck i hope we dont fizzle, this better just be the begininng
46K active users is nothing to sneeze at. Most old school forums were hella active with just 1K
The typical ratio is 1:9:90, meaning only 10% are actively posting or commenting. The Lemmy numbers fit to that surprisingly well, although you would think a few more lurkers would at least vote sometimes (which Lemmy reports as active in the monthly stats). My guess is that the lurkers don't even bother to sign in.
Discuit has less than 200 commenters : https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/cauipqZt
Am I confused, or is that link not a forum?
Sorry, wrong link: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/cauipqZt

One of the more commonly recommended reddit alternatives aside from Lemmy. Goes to show how far ahead we are of any other alternative, they all have virtually no activity.
Also note that we bottomed out around 37k in October 2024, so we have seen pretty significant growth since then, and it seems to be accelerating.
Is voat still a “reddit alternative”? When they launched like over 10 years ago that’s how they billed themselves. Then I think their user base was mostly conservative, which might have prevented some people from trying it.
Voat shut itself down. It basically speedrun the reddit refugees > reddit conservatives > reddit nazis within months and then it spent the rest of its life with nazis trying to out-nazi each other, until its owner finally realized what their version of "free speech" really means.
