Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?
I'm a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User's stat being over run by bots.
Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it's users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.
For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin's total users and active users are almost identical.
The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I'm wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?
I think there might some confusion in your comment. The post's data is for all lemmy instances, which is larger than just lemmy.world.
As of this moment, lemmy.world has about 51k users, followed by lemmy.ml's 39k and beehaw.org's 11k. If you take the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances, they add up to roughly 136k users. And that's just 10 out of 1000 instances. Source: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
All of that to say your math might be wrong.
You need to juice the numbers by posting each paragraph as a separate comment, otherwise you'll never hit your daily 120.
I'm doing my part.
