There used to be the Alexa ranking for websites but it seems to no exist anymore. Elsewhere I only could find for lemmy.world ranking (something like 55000, yay!) but not the actual userbase, and nothing about any other instance (let alone the entire Fediverse).
Thank you! This includes also non-lemmy/non-reddit-like sites, such as Mastodon, PeerTube etc, right? I tried to but couldn’t find in your link what is the share of Lemmy instances. EDIT, it took a while to load on my phone but actually there is a “pizza” diagram and lemmy is at about 3% or about 50k MAU as other reply stated. Thanks again!
lemmy is a software platform, so software -> lemmy
45k it is! Many thanks!
While the user bases of Piefed and Mbin are smaller, they should be included as they federate with Lemmy and interact with out communities.
The same is true of Mastodon but that’s a lot harder to count since most Mastodon users are not interacting with Lemmy (since it’s a different style of platform - microblog vs link sharing).
keep in mind thats active users. that number is usually a small percentage of unique visitors in any system.
I think 50k MAU has been bandied about.
So pretty much stagnant as of now?
I mean you say it’s stagnant and that may be technically true, but I see plenty of posts per day without repeats. I like where we’re at.
I wouldn’t say that, considering we (feddit.org) are currently experiencing a large growth from reddit users and others going away from US based platforms.
Lucky for you, I’ve been keeping track.
There’s exactly 56 of us.
Seems about right.
Nice seeing you again.
Hey guys, can one of y’all bring back that usb-c adapter when you’re done with it? Cheers.
You’ll know when it hits mainstream when it’s referred to on the nightly news and every media outlet is running at least an account for each program, but hopefully an instance for each organisation.
We’re nowhere near that.
FediDB has listed the overall Lemmy monthly active users at about 45k for a while now. It’s anyone’s guess how many actual humans that represents, since the number includes bots and alt accounts.
That number only includes accounts that post, comment, or vote. I would love to know how many silent lurkers are out there.
