I’m new here on Lemmy.
When looking at the different communities, I get really surprised at how few people are using it. For instance, the ProCreate community says 4 / users per month. Does that mean only 4 people are being active? Or have I misunderstood?
Thank you in advance!
it means x people have been active. As in they have commented or posted in the community in that month.
Okay thank you. I’m just surprised that it’s so few!
yeah, from my experience lemmy has way fewer but more active users compared to reddit
Yeah that’s been my take too. Honestly, minus missing more OC, I like Lemmy a lot. It’s definitely starting to hit that Reddit-like feel to it
This is exactly how Reddit felt before the great Digg exodus.

Yep… I still think the “Powerusers” - Mods and actually active Posters, creators of original content - were the ones most likely to use 3rd Party Apps and thus have left Reddit after all the shit that has happened
I noticed a huge drop in Quality in the last 2 Days on Reddit (and a rise of Alt-Right bs), lets see how it develops
For now I feel really comfortable here on Lemmy

I get that. I hope you’re right so we can get bigger but fewer communities about the same topic
Do votes count as activity?
Personally, I would consider that too lurker-y to count, but I could see both sides of that particular argument.
Then again, I could get off my ass and go read the fuckin code… Is my reddit refugee showing?? :P
I don’t think they do, I see a lot of communities where there are more votes on a lot of posts than the active users count.
They don’t
