If you're looking for how many users there are on LL, this is something that can only be tracked on proprietary operating systems like Windows and Mac that have known built in back doors that call home. LL is also hosted on a number of third party websites like Softpedia, Cnet etc as well as multiple mirrors around the world. In truth we'll never know exactly how many times LL has been downloaded.
But the origninal question asks how many people are 'using' LL. Again, impossible to know. There are also considerations to take into account like how many people in the linux world 'distro hop' regularly, I used to be a big hopper myself until I settled down with Debian. Linux Lite today, Fedora tomorrow.
In conclusion, will we ever know how many people are using LL at any one time? No, unfortunately. And I don't think there is a way to do it, unless someone can come up with an idea.
