    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.
