So, this website tracks user posts, comments, sign ups, all the stats. Just keep in mind that to do so, it actively scans all nodes. So if lemmy.ml is down but lemmy.world is still up, the user count may seem slightly lower than it actually is, and you may see dips as instances go offline due to traffic, therefore their users go offline. But its a good indicator of where we are at, and it showed us as firmly over 100K.
