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?
deleted by creator
I think it requires at least one post, comment or vote to be considered active.
Sorry I misread
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.
