Monthly users
Looks like the upgrade of lemmy.world finality fixed the statistics. Went from about 800 monthly users yesterday to over 5000 today. Not bad for a small hobby project.
Keep the quality content coming and let's continue building this community.

Yes nice that they finally upgraded.
By the way, this community is still looking for additional mods: https://feddit.de/post/9357674
You need to be from Europe and have a post history showing a bit about your Lemmy use of Europe related communities.
Are you referring to the Lemmy project or the Lemmy.world instance? Because Lemmy has two paid devs, and had two a while.
Who is paying them?
Lemmy 2023-10-31 news post, section Funding Drive:
There seem to be considerable recurring donations now too. (Donations page, section Sponsors.)
If you mean "considerable" as in barely above minimum wage, sure... it's either a job or a hobby and if it is a job you need to compare it with what they could earn as software developers elsewhere.
Multiple hundreds is considerable to me and beyond "hobby". It doesn't have to be a full time job or fairly compensated to be more than a hobby.
1.5 k has to be considered in my eyes. It's not negligible or marginal as donations. (Note I labeled donations considerable, not their income - which I don't know. My point was that it's worth mentioning.)
