    Doesnt feel like it. None of the posts here gets more than 2k upvotes so I doubt if we have 10 million users. Probably it might be Facebook app users which are defederated?

      This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there’s a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

        I thought lemmy was very big compared to mastadon because of the reddit api thing. Damn. I tried mastadon once but the moderation was very weird.

        that makes sense but 10mil users is hard to believe lol. I tried pixelfed and didn’t get any likes on the pics I uploaded, same pic on Instagram fetched 300+ likes.

          Looks like Pixelfed is about 2%. Try Mastodon, I guess - it’s listed as 72%.

          EDIT: lol, I just did a quick search - apparently Instagram’s monthly active user count is over two Billion. With a ‘B’. Even with 10 million, it wouldn’t compare.

            Wow mastodon looks promising. Almost feels better than twitter. Thanks for recommending mastodon.

      There’s still a ‘hot’ sorting problem. Popular posts don’t appear on it, it’s much too bias to new. So lots of things don’t get the chance to be upvoted.
