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

what makes you think this is true or that those alts are significant?

There is likely a large amount of people with both a mastodon and a Lemmy account, just to name some.
