Similar to Mastodon's spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

FYI, Lemmy doesn’t count lurkers as active users. Here’s how Lemmy counts active users:

An active user is someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame. For site counts, only local users are counted. For community counts, federated users are included.

I really just want to lurk.

You made a comment just now. You're not lurking according to the how they're categorizing a lurker.

Honestly, how about this? Every single lurker, commit to making at least one post or comment a day. Call it a social experiment
