People had multiple accounts because servers were unstable. Now that stability has increased we're just abandoning the alts.

    Yep, can confirm. Over the last couple of week I closed 20.000 alts.

    the average lemmy user has 3 alts factoid is just statistical error. the average lemmy user has 0 alts. alts georg, who lives on linux.community apparently and has 20,000 alts, is a statistical outlier adn should not be counted

  • Yeah, "monthly active users" does not necessarily mean "unique monthly active users".

    I would much rather see activity statistics like posts+comments or something like that. As long as those are looking good, then new unique users will continue to join gradually.
