Hi. I’m a bit of a news junkie.
MicroWave here. Yeah, I gradually switched over to posting news when lemmy.world reached 100k users. I remember that was one of the ways reddit and digg grew in their infancy, so I wanted to try to replicate that.
Appreciate the recognition, @gabe@literature.cafe! I’m glad you find my posts useful.
FYI, Lemmy doesn’t count lurkers as active users. Here’s how Lemmy counts active users:
An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame. For site counts, only local users are counted. For community counts, federated users are included.

That was probably my post :)
So true. This is straight from Lemmy’s documentation:
An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame. For site counts, only local users are counted. For community counts, federated users are included.

Margot, you are the best novelty account.
midwest.social is currently #22 with 1621 accounts and 499 monthly active users.
Funny, I got 9 days based on your oldest post! 😄
When did you create lemm.ee? Thanks for all hard work, by the way.
Kbin adds another 63k.
And it was created only 9 days ago.
I’m so glad the auto refresh bug on the main page is finally gone after the software update.
Bots have inflated the total users count (around 2.4 million), but they aren’t active (yet). So for now active users is a recommended way to measure the fediverse. But once bots start posting, we’ll have to find another way to track real user activity.
I still see him as the only admin of that k6qw instance.
And he hasn’t posted anything for nearly a week.
Yeah it’s ridiculously blatant that instance is full of fake users.
Good for them. Using Discord for development work has never made sense to me.
Hah! Just like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
