It's currently at 6k monthly active users, which is significant. However, it's important to note that there are already 16k abandoned accounts.
One of those is mine, after finding out that LemmyNSFW can't reach lemmy.ml, but FMHY can reach both. Probably not the only one.
I have an account on the exact same instances for the same reasons π However, FMHY allows NSFW content, so it's only a matter of time before Lemmy.ml blocks it.
Yeah, it's sad. I guess it makes sense; just now I saw two posts from "lewd loli" from another instance in my "all" feed, and I imagine that'd be awkward if it happened to lemmy.ml. It does mean I'll need a separate NSFW and SFW account, of which one will probably just be ignored completely. Or I could spin up my own instance, so small nobody will bother to block it.
If this stuff really catches on I predict there will be services built around setting up private instances for that purpose.
Lol, ChatGPT
EDIT: I see I wasnt the first to notice now.
You aren't replying to the correct comment.
Where do you find that info? I want to track that.
On the sidebar of the main page of the lemmy.world website.
How did you extrapolate 16000 abandoned accounts when lemmy.world was just created a couple weeks ago?
If you claim that there are 22k accounts, but only 6k of them are active users, then there would be 22k - 6k = 16k abandoned accounts.
What you said still doesnβt 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.
Then one of those two figures is wrong. If the oldest account is 2 weeks old, there should be 22k active users per month instead of 6k. So, I don't know.
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.
Here are some of the monthly active user statistics for various social media platforms, according to the search results:
It's worth noting that these numbers are subject to change and may vary depending on the source. Additionally, there are many other social media platforms with significant user bases that are not listed here. When choosing which social media platforms to use for your brand, it's important to consider the relevance to your target audience and the quality of engagement on each platform, rather than just the number of users.

Ok ChatGPT.
Can people please not do that?
Try and stop me.
Haha no. I thought you are a bot account that responded to some keywords and saw that this isn't the case after I sent my comment. I'm not a fan of copying ChatGPT answers, but this is still very different.
...ChatGPT?
Or Bing Chat?
No
Which one then? This reads like AI generated.
I don't promote closed source software sorry.
No
