How big is lemmy nowadays (sh.itjust.works)

I discovered lemmy back when reddit started to charge for their API. However upon taking a look at it, it seemed that apart from like 8 communities,there was not much going on elsewhere. Things seem to have changed since then, quite a lot of active communities these days. So how many users do yall reckon lemmy has now? Is it close to 5M? or perhaps even higher?

Can I have that in rods and furlongs?

I've had to measure parcels in "chains and rods" when updating archaic plat books! That's when I decided GIS may not be for me.

Still got the degree bc I was too far into the degree and couldn't afford extra tuition.

Nowadays, I can read a map about as well as the average person!

And here I thought chains were only used for cricket and train tracks.
