Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [12], not the other [117] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and doesn’t track all software.
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous week’s post, if interested in learning more).
  4. Weirdly Loops has a ~3 week gap in data about a year ago.

Takeaways:

  • Lemmy appears to still be jumping around with servers coming in and out.
  • Loops still in a downward trend, but looks to be shallow-ing out. Hopefully stabilize by next week’s post.
  • Piefed possibly stabilized. Looks like ~3000 users joined in the last wave (~1 month ago) of those ~2000 stayed. Alt. up to all of them stayed, but ~1000 moved servers once after arriving.
  • Pixelfed had some good growth this week.
