Again the interesting thing is that a lot of other sites have a huge difference in numbers. But they are all saying the same thing, "Active" users are declining or getting close to equilibrium but number of users are increasing. Strange.

I personally think that piefed/mastodon/other servers federating with lemmy might be messing up the numbers in some way. Both pumping up the numbers and making others "go down" in different sites and how they are pulling the data. Like if I respond via my mastodon account, is that a "new" account? Does that make it pop up as an active user? If I dont repost it via the mastodon account for a while, will I now be an inactive account, even though I still look at lemmy with it? Im not sure.
