How many communities are there across all of Lemmy?
I don’t even know how to begin to figure this out. How many communities are there across every instance (or even just among those that are federated at all)?
Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

To be honest, 99% of those have no activity.
People created communities so they would exist in case there was a need.
It's better to look at how many posts and comments Lemmy has to understand "activity" . I wish the "active user" counts included people who lurk and just upvote / downvote, because most users are lurkers and they don't show up in the stats.
We are probably at least double the amount of users that show as active right now.
My guess is about 28,047.
Well would you look at that
That feels like a lot. How does it compare to, say, Reddit?
We’re almost there!
In 2022, there were 140,000 subreddits.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: ![email protected]
350?
