On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.

Just to clarify, this wouldn’t account for people making multiple accounts, right? I know people who have a mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account.
It most likely triple counts users like me. I have a Mastodon, kbin, and Lemmy account, (all under the same username), but those would be counted as 3 Fediverse accounts. I think the metrics to look at are posts and comments.
Hey, honestly I'm unsure. Though my gut instinct would be that it does include those instances, hadn't considered it.
The number of users dropping in June when many bot accounts were removed, and then rising again at the same time that >1500 new servers were added, while MAU does not rise at the same rate, seems to suggest that many are in fact likely bots?
However, the MAU is rising, so that indeed is a sign of health even if the precise amount of traffic by humans is unknown.
And bot accounts serve useful purposes too, sometimes posting more worthwhile content than many humans.:-)
The user numbers on every site includes multiple accounts.
