User count has plateaued at about 420K

Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K

Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.

Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?

Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?

I can see it now:

"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."

and

"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"

Most people on reddit don't even know about Lemmy lol. I'm sure a large chunk of users, particularly on lefty subs and programming ones, would love to check it out.

Ads definitely aren't the way to go though since you'd be giving reddit money. Perhaps setting something up with mods of said subreddits?

Lmfao. Lemmy was PLASTERED on the front page. It was on r/place along with "FUCK SPEZ". If you missed it, you're just not even looking. And if you're not even looking and don't care and think reddit is just wonderful, again, do we really want you?

And seriously, with Lemmy being FILLED with "dae Linux?" and "communism good" posts and programming humor hitting my front page HOURLY, you're honestly trying to tell me "the programmers and lefties don't know about this place"? Seriously?!?!

Most reddit users aren't on there everyday to see those. If you were talking about Lemmy on reddit for a month or two after things calmed down you'd see barely anyone there still know about this place.

Most reddit users are bots.
Most human reddit users are lurkers.

What's the ratio of active to lurker user on fediverse users?
