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.
Things like this always fall into a power law distribution, so it will fall off very quickly.
