Those are the total user stats they represent how many accounts have been registered over all Lemmy instances. With bots registering 80000+ new accounts on some of the open instances, these stats are not very representative of the actual userbase.
That's why we usually look at the active last 30 days stats instead of the total users stats because they represent actual users using this site while the botted accounts usually lay dormant.
Since the first of July, looking at the accounts active in the last 30 days, the active userbase of Lemmy has grown by approximately 7000-8000 users while the userbase of Kbin has grown by approximately 2000 users. Which is still not a bad number but not as great as 2 Mio..
