What seriously there are 1/2 million users on here? I honestly thought it was in the 10's of thousands tops.

I think it says something about how it is possible to converse with a few people in a crowded room but not notice the crowd.

there was a recent study for reddit showing that actually most users dont do anything and the whole content is generated from not even the 10%

Would be interesting to know how many of those 500 000 that were active during 2018 (at least one login).

I ran a query using Chartly and it came back with ~138K users that had at least one post (story or comment) during 2018.

So maybe around 28% or so were active.
