    It’s the sum of new user accounts that posted at least once. Overall there are around 30k new users in the past week.

      hopefully this has been said many times before and at the risk of simping, I just wanted to say “thank you!” to you, dessalines and all other code contributors for slaving away in the mines and standing up useful, working code that solves a real-world social need. Federated social and, in particular, a better reddit will go a long way to helping us figure out better ways forward.

      True, but it doesn’t tell how active people actually are. This could just all be people who check out Lemmy and get bored after an hour and never come back. Active users per day would be a lot more interesting for short timeframes like this.

      I am happy though that many people try out Lemmy, and I hope that many also stick with it.
