The following screenshot is a composite. The popups for the last two days are inserted top left and top right. I also copied the Y-axis description from left to right.

How to explain this growth?

Sighs ... the enthusiasm is appreciated, but reacting to the numbers like this without looking into what's going on is likely to lead to false conclusions.

You're reading things into this, probably because that's how these posts usually go.

But if you look again, I merely posted the stats, and asked how they could be explained. Looking into what's going on.

It's a question, not enthusiasm or celebration.

Thanks for the rest of your comment, that was a helpful answer.

Sorry. I must apologise. I was reading into this and being reactive. Nothing personal and sorry again.

I initially had a similar reaction, as ‘active users’ in the title makes it look like you are stating a fact. ‘Reported active users’ in the title would have given a suggestion that you are (rightly) questioning the number.
