For anyone who needs a reminder: user account ≠ human individual user. There are no bot/captcha protections nor IP restrictions on Lemmy. I'd say we have less than 1 million actual human individual users.

A lot (if not all) Fedi users have multiple accounts on various instances and platforms, so that also inflates the figure

if not all

I don't, so that's at least one person who doesn't have multiple accounts
