Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

Also worth noting is Lemmy only counts posts/comments as "active users". Lurkers who only read and up/downvote aren't counted.
That's interesting, I would expect people who vote to be accounted
Me as well. I only remember this because around July 1st there was a post about it, which lead to a wave of "doing my part by posting my daily comment to count as an active user"-comments.
That was probably my post :)
wow, I lurk so much more than I post stuff.. one would think they would track this
So true. This is straight from Lemmy’s documentation:

I think this is the biggest factor. Most people only lurk. How many people signed up and only lurk?
At least 2.
I wonder if lurkers were counted in reddits active user data
