Found that aswell but the numbers are very inaccurate I feel like. I saw some websites saying there’s 1.5m lemmy accounts, others say 2.3m and this one says 300k?
Those are instances that haven’t enabled captchas yet and have been raided by bots. https://lemmyverse.net/ seems to exclude bot instances using its “smart sort” but it gives you only active users.
There have been a lot of junk bot accounts created, but those accounts aren’t active (they don’t post anything, thank goodness) so they will not appear in a measurement of active user accounts.
Quick Google gave me this
