The Lemmy user base passed 150,000 in total users.
I, for one, count for at least 5 of these across separate instances. lol

This pleases me.
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.

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.
Reddit is blocked in my country so I have to open reddit using dns, because lemmy is already there, this is an opportunity to find a community forum for a replacement for reddit in my country.
