Does lemmy.world really have 26000 users already? (self.lemmyworld)

EDIT: Just crossed 26000!

Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.

Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).

beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!

I think Lemmy.world is the new meta right now.

If I'm reading this right, kbin.social has 157k users as of today, and fedia.io has 39k. Does that not suggest the kbin instances are the new meta?

That includes people it knows about from Federated servers.

For the real numbers you need to use their nodeinfo, for example: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0

Kbin has 30119 right now.

According to fedidb.org, the entirety of the Lemmy network (that uses the Lemmy software) has 140,442, while the entirety of the KBin network (that uses the KBin software) has 32,830.

you're reading it wrong, I'll maybe get to lokking up the link, but you're looking at a"users in the database" count, which includes posts from the fediverse.
kbin has ~27k users

oh,29k, that was quick

FediDB says kbin.social has around 30k users and fedia.io has 2.8k: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin

Now I'm confused. Who's right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

kbin.social has 29.8k local users.
157k is local + all federated servers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

kbin.social has 29K currently: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0 , fedia has 2.9K

fedidb.org has roughly accurate stats or you can check the nodeinfo url for each instance to get a count of only local users to that instance
