according to reddit they had 918 million Monthly Active Users (MAU) in 2022, then they stopped reporting it for I assume stock reasons 🤷♀️. Anyways, I’m not trying to be super specific so I’ll go with 1 billion since it’s 4 years out of date anyways.
The widely shared number for Lemmy MAU is ~40,000. I’ve heard this shared for many years and I wasn’t sure if it was accurate anymore. The actual numbers are easy to find so I added all of the totals from piefed statistics page for Lemmy + Piefed + Mbin.
It turned out to be 40,272. guess the number was correct after all!

so that’s 1,000,000,000 vs 40,000
that’s 0.004%! I lowkey forgot how big reddit is.
Here, have my upvote. It’s worth 25,000. 🪙
I like it here, I came over from Reddit years ago and the only time I’ve been back is when searching for random tech or niche hobby stuff and a reddit thread shows up, but that’s about to end too due to the login thing.
I’d rather hang out with a small group of friends than be alone in a massive drunken rave. 🤷♀️
