This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there's a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

that makes sense but 10mil users is hard to believe lol. I tried pixelfed and didn't get any likes on the pics I uploaded, same pic on Instagram fetched 300+ likes.

Looks like Pixelfed is about 2%. Try Mastodon, I guess - it's listed as 72%.

EDIT: lol, I just did a quick search - apparently Instagram's monthly active user count is over two Billion. With a 'B'. Even with 10 million, it wouldn't compare.

Wow mastodon looks promising. Almost feels better than twitter. Thanks for recommending mastodon.
