Could someone explain how the 2 million users are calculated for Lemmy?

I don't know if fedidb.org is up to date but there, the total number of users is at 352625.

EDIT: Had to look it up since I wasn't sure, but I recalled that the 0.19 update changed how MAUs are being counted. Now it includes voters as well.

Previously, site and community activity counts were only based on people who commented, or posted. Those counts now include anyone who voted on a comment or post as well. Thanks to @Ategon for this change.

Yep you'd expect it to climb significantly once .world upgrades. Basically this update messes with the baseline stat a lot so no reason to celebrate, but also no reason to really be fussed either way as long as we've got plenty people here to talk to 👍

It’ll definitely shoot up. I’m a world user and vote the majority of the posts I come across. I don’t do a lot of post submission, but do comment as much as I can contribute. I’m sure I’m not alone.
