Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

They’re from https://join-lemmy.org/instances

I find this true of so few actual races.
-
-
Okay, for context, this means that Lemmy has gained 4.4K MAUs over last month.
Not bad.

-
We were hanging around 43k mau for the longest time.

Cue the 'too the moon' rocket but with the btc logo removed and the Fediverse icon added.

Yes, back then you had to comment or post. These days it also counts users who vote within the timeframe as active users.

Counter-point: he won the race by being the fastest runner. But I grant you it took him awhile to decide to run the race relative to average life spans and the likely typical marathon runner, so we can just call it a draw.

Seriously though, I’ll scroll for hours at a time. Some of my favorite online communities ever are here on lemmy. What we’re building here is awesome.
It’s not uncanny to the point of having a full community for every game, hobby, and random concept that’s ever crossed someones mind. But honestly after seeing the internet evolve over the years I’m kind of over the idea of trying to cram everything into one giant website. Fedi is particularly awesome for that of course, moreso than ever now with loops and pixelfed doing so well

That's true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn't post or comment.
But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we've seen some really nice organic growth, although it's not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it's really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.

Wonder what happened in ~June of 2024. Summer signups?

Hey!

Thank you for doing your part in getting the ball rolling!

On Lemmy, two's a crowd (or a flamewar).

Thank your for your service.
Building a community takes work. Let's hope this one is more resilient to corpo-lobotomy than Reddit, Digg and Slashdot.
