Since my last post yesterday, lemmy.world has added over 3000 new users, bringing the total user count to 22000 today (source: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). It firmly holds the position of the second-largest lemmy instance, passing beehaw.org by a large margin of 10000 users.

In other news, beehaw has defederated from lemmy.world a few hours ago. How does the third-largest instance only have 4 mods admins for its 12000 users?!

So much going on!

    How did you extrapolate 16000 abandoned accounts when lemmy.world was just created a couple weeks ago?

        What you said still doesn’t make sense.

        Normally, an account is considered inactive after a few months of inactivity and subsequently abandoned after maybe a year or more of inactivity (depending on whether the service enforces this).

        The oldest account on this instance is about 2 weeks old.

        The active user count is the count of all unique users from an instance that made a comment or a post within the last month. So that means we have 6k people posting and commenting and 16k lurkers.
