2M accounts, not users. Most of those are bot accounts that started appearing recently. See the saga of lemmy.ninja for example.

The Federation currently shows Lemmy at 1.6M accounts and falling as admins on other instances continue to mop up bot accounts.

For the curious but lazy: Lemmy is currently at 55k monthly active users and kbin is also around 55k MAU. The bot accounts are just noise but we are seeing consistent, steady growth so far.

Lemmy + kbin had around 2k more active users each day over the past 10 days. Today, after the 3rd party app exitus, it were 10k more. It's fantastic!
