I would say an extremely small number.  Why?  Because the vast majority
would be installing a desktop and using the DM supplied with that
desktop.  If a desktop uses lightDM then it would have been installed
with the necessary greeter.  I don't think many go through the trouble
to install/change their DM.  And, since many/most/some folks installing
Fedora start with GNOME the pieces needed for lightDM are already there
should they choose to install it.

FWIW, I found that nugget of documentation in the LightDM - ArchWiki
which is the only link I followed after searching on google for
lightdm.  This I did after installing only lightDM and being faced with
a blank screen.

Sounds like a plan!
