An active user on Lemmy is "someone who has posted or commented on our instance or community within the last given time frame.” Source. That means lurkers are not counted as active users. There are currently almost 200k total users spread across the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances.

We're really building something here!

The barrier to entry is super high but hopefully websites and apps are developed to make it easier for people to join. (Sync for Lemmy)

Let's also do out part and post/comment to add content to this website to make it appealing for new users.

Is it really super high? It might not be very intuitive, but there’s nothing truly complicated. Maybe I’m out of touch.

People are over explaining it. If you didn’t explain all the federation stuff it really just boils down to 1) pick a website, 2) sign-up 3) pick communities. It’s no different from other websites. All the quirks of the federation can be learnt well after getting started.
