From 2,997 active users across all lemmy instances at the beginning of June, the number increased to 52,797 by June 30th. Source.

An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. There are currently almost 200k total users spread across the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances.

We’re really building something here!

      Question; cuz I’ve been using Memmy too, and I haven’t had a chance to read into it much. I don’t have the ability to upvote/downvote/reply to individual comments in the app. I’m not sure if it’s a bug on my end or if he just hasn’t had a chance to implement those features yet. Do you have that same issue with it?

        I had that issue occasionally. Killing the app and restarting fixed it.

          Interesting. I’ve been having that issue non stop. I may try to send in a bug report or something tonight.

            I’d also caution that right now is probably a very unique time for the Lemmy world.

              That’s true, that’s why I didn’t file a report right away. I’m sure all of these devs are absolutely inundated with bug reports and feature requests right now.

                Ah, you know what…(im still learning too). Apparently if you are viewing content from all instances (like those your account arent signed into), you cannot vote or comment in those posts.

                  Turns out I’m an idiot and I didn’t realize it was a swipe action in the app. I thought I was just missing the reply button.

        Are you using the gestures? Swipe left on a comment to reply. I’m using the app right now to reply to you

          That’s exactly what it was lol. I spent a minute searching for someone else with the same problem last night and realized what I’ve done.

            I forget if it was covered in new account onboarding or not, but it might be worthwhile letting the dev know that it’s not always clear
