Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Those are some big boy numbers. 2 mil posts and almost 1/4mil active users. Getting there!
138k active users to 554k total users is about 25%, which I would imagine is significantly higher than most social media.
Is someone marked an active user if they ever voted or posted a comment/post, or do they drop off if they haven’t done so in 14 days?
The active user count is bullshit in my opinion. We know most users are just reading and not posting or commenting. Those users are invisible in these stats.
An active user should be anyone who logged into Lemmy in the last 30 days.
This also means that small instances with a low amount of "active" users could have a lot of users actually using it in silence.
Active should mean "using Lemmy", not posting.
Maybe a good middle ground would be an user that upvotes. That would include all the lurkers, that contribute by upvoting/downvoting.
Yeah it would improve the stats to be more realistic and it could probably be implemented as well, at least easier than logins which probably is not even federeted.
Active is only creating a post or comment. Voting doesn't count. Simply because of how Lemmy counts, which will be different to how bigger sites count their own users.
But also Lemmy really took off over the past 2 months. So if people signed up, posted once, then never came back, they will still be listed as an active user because of how little time has passed.
Thanks!
Kbin had way less users but same activity.... Doing my part!
