Given that the MAU count is still on a slow decline, with over 90% of Lemmy.world users being inactive, I think it’s more of an indicator that MAU counts should be made more prominent in frontends rather than total users.
Unless that update comes with a promotional push and/or another major transgression by the big platforms, I wouldn’t expect a software update to change things.
I’m getting ready to start one of the communities I miss from Reddit and will hopefully get some converts to join me, but I don’t have a lot of time coming up, so going will be slow.

I hope the upcoming 1.0 release will attract some new active users.

What counts as an MAU?
Monthly active users
I know what the acronym means but what does it represent? What qualifies as an active user?
For Mastodon it’s the number of users that have logged in within the past month, so I presume Lemmy also tracks it with logins.
I think it requires at least one post, comment or vote to be considered active.
Sorry I misread
