Just say 40,000. Which is a pathetic number, but perfectly fine for the type of niche communities budding up here and there across all the domains connected together here.
There are huge subreddits that are basically dead or just filled with spam. The ratio of active/passive users on Lemmy must be much much larger. A Lemmy community with 100 active members almost feels like a subreddit with 10 000 members.

40k users is huge. Remember, lemmy is not profit driven. We don’t need to grow at all costs, we can grow naturally and sustainably.
…I kinda like it right now. Some communities of less than a 1000 have much more human responses. It nice. And not just from one server.

The density of quality users and interactions on Lemmy nowadays reminds me of Reddit’s earlier days
