2M accounts, not users. Most of those are bot accounts that started appearing recently. See the saga of lemmy.ninja for example.

The Federation currently shows Lemmy at 1.6M accounts and falling as admins on other instances continue to mop up bot accounts.

For the curious but lazy: Lemmy is currently at 55k monthly active users and kbin is also around 55k MAU. The bot accounts are just noise but we are seeing consistent, steady growth so far.

Lemmy + kbin had around 2k more active users each day over the past 10 days. Today, after the 3rd party app exitus, it were 10k more. It's fantastic!

Something is off with kbin's active user reporting. Look at the numbers: their total user and active user numbers are exactly the same. There is no way that every single one of the users are active.

I alone have an account on four different instances

Is there any way to transfer subscription between accounts?

The first link isn't working for me - can't tell if it's Lemmy bugging out still or what. Just wanted to let you know because I'm very curious about what happened!
