At least 5.
I think if we include niches with users that post daily, but not necessarily to communities big enough to be seen by most, we can up that to 6.
Maybe even 7.

I've been here for a while without having ever posted yet. But I do comment and upvote.
Came here to say this, so I'll just updoot and comment on yours instead. 👍
Well, there's me, my alts and you
Me checking in
Nobody on the internet other than you is real its all bots and government agents.
I'd say I'm a pretty regular poster. I post a few times a day then not at all for a few days in rotation. Depends on the community though, I like trying to ask good questions. That takes a bit to think up so I post once or twice a week. Whereas if I'm sent a funny meme (daily in a few group chats) I throw that up on shitpost whenever.
Thats very similar to how I am.
Ill browse for a few days and then go "oh yeah I havent posted X in awhile. I should do that" and then ill send all of the things I keep up with all at once... generally comics from creators I like on mastodon.
I rarely have anything worth creating a post for, but I'm consistently commenting.
It's just me and my alts, honestly.
Every day? How many people post to lemmy every day? It's gotta be zero, right? No-one's dumb enough to post daily.
What about that guy who posts a game screenshot every day
There's a couple of us who post daily or near-daily to !gothindustrial@lemmy.world. Also people who post to comic strip communities like !garfield@lemmy.world.
Every day Mon-Fri while I'm stuck at work. I have better things to do on weekends than use social media. Unless Trump dies on a weekend. I'll hop on then to celebrate with everyone else.
Idk im a bot and a government agent
FediDB says there's 966885 active users on the fediverse in general, with 47.8K being Lemmy users.
Though this is usually measured as monthly active users iirc, so not exactly accurate to the daily you requested.
You can also get the value of any given instance's monthly active users by checking their nodeinfo endpoint. Here's the one for your instance. But again, that's monthly, not daily.
I don't think I've missed a day for at least 2.5 years.
To be fair I don't really post on Reddit either. Just comments.
I had a account on reddit since... 2008 or 09, until about a year ago. I think I made 10-15 posts and almost all of them were asking for help with a specific problem in a niche subreddit.
I post sometimes especially when I’m using cannabis. This is more relaxed than Reddit where they will tar and feather you if you don’t follow their rules.
Somewhere between 12 and 12!
I'm almost daily, I usually take a break on the weekend though.
By the time I find news or anything worthy of posting, it's already up here. I do comment a few times a day though.
Im not curious enough to post a question..
And i dont like sharing many photos etc

Currently, there's about 1 post by a unique human per minute in my feed.
So using wild ballpark approximations, that's 1000 posters daily.
Let's double it, because not all communities show up in my feed.
Then half it again because this is a relatively active time of day.
1000 is my final answer.
So, assuming that 1000 posts comes from less than 1000 people, and that other people post occasionally, let's guess that somewhere less than 1000 people do 90 % of the posting. That's not a high percentage of users.
I already filtered for non-unique posters, and 1 per minute would be 1440. I also have an extensive blocklist. So it could be in the range between 1000 and 2000.
Ah. That makes the odds better. Still, you have a very small portion of active users doing most of the posting.
