I honestly wonder where are the users, every subreddit that I used to follow and that have been created here practically has only 200 or less subscribers.
Something I realized: If you visit a community on a different server, it doesn’t show all subscribers. Like on Feddit.de, it tells me that there are 993 subscribers for this very community. But if I visit lemmy.ml/c/memes it shows that the community has over 18k+ subscribers. Maybe it only shows the subscribers from your own instance? Like 993 People from Feddit.de are subscribed to this community? No idea.
Oh and a lot of bots too.
I wonder how accurate these statistics are. Total users are over 1mio now, but users that have been active at least once in the last half year are only ~45k. Which is not bad either, but a far cry from 1mio.
What causes this difference?
Fledditors are all new users that by could not be reflected as active for 6+ months due to their accounts being ~2-3 weeks old.
The 6-month-active count usually means “This user has been active at least once in the last 6 months” not “This user has been active for over 6 months”.
So if you sign up today and spend today on Lemmy, then you have been active at least once in the last 6 months.
