The Lemmy user base passed 150,000 in total users.
We have to be vigilant though. Can't let what happened to Voat happen again.

MODERATORS
For perspective:
r/GothStyle has 159k subscribers, r/tarot has 306k, r/cycling has 348k, r/rpg and r/political humor have 1.5m each, r/ExplainLikeImFive has 22.3m, and r/AskReddit has 41.4m.
Make of that what you will. I'm just giving numbers.
Doesn't really mean anything. Facebook has around 3.4 billion active monthly users. Reddit has around 400 million. I'd still take the latter than the former. Lemmy will keep growing. Probably will never have 100s of millions of users and that's fine. More users can be a good thing but by itself the numbers mean nothing.

The difference is in the active number of content creators and participants. Itβs nice to have a sub with ten million followers but if Gallowboob is the only one posting and his 250 bots are the only ones voting itβs just a popular Twitter account. That is good for ad revenue but shit for interaction.
Give me a vibrant, intelligent, argumentative (in a good way) 100,000 over a passive ten million any day.

This pleases me.
Woot! Iβm excited for Lemmyβs future
i've read kbin might get merged with lemmy (or vice versa, whatever) , but cannot find the post talking about it anymore
anyone to confirm whether it's true (perhaps was I just dreaming , after all)
Is there any benefit to merging if it's all just federated between them?

Does that include kbin.social users?
probably not, since kbin isn't Lemmy.

Good! I'm loving the vibe here.
Great! Keep it on!
Every time I see this chart I wonder what the huge sudden drop is earlier. Does anyone know?
instances might've shut down.

Yup finally seeing a lot of good conversations now. Which was really always the best part of Reddit.
