We’re seeing an increase from 53k active users at the beginning of July to 72k active users at the time of this post.
According to Lemmy’s documentation, an active user is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Lurkers aren’t considered active users, so basically these are content creators on Lemmy.

Yeah, I’m glad I’m not really the only one who feels this way. I mean the most important part of a “social” media network is to have people on it. Also I can’t really see anything that tildes has that Lemmy doesn’t. I might be missing something, but it seems pretty inferior. But as for the centrallised platforms; yeah I’m pretty done too.
