- Note: Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [12], not the other [117] software tracked by the website.
- Source: Fediverse-Observer
- Caveats: Only using 1 source, using two different sets of data within the same source (why 6 month and 1 year data seems off compared to the others, I didn’t dig through the code to figure out why that would be).
Takeaways:
- Threadiverse growth this week
- Fediverse shrinks this week
- Piefed and Loops had positive growth each day last week (Friendica almost did)
Mods: Again, feel free to delete if its not appropriate in the community.
Though the fediverse in general is growing it looks like Lemmy is losing users since last year. I guess thats because a percentage of Reddit refugees that came here after the API debacle eventually just went back to Reddit. A similar story is probably true for Mastodon. After Musk bought Twitter/X there was an influx of users but not everyone stayed. But because this data is only a year old is difficult to see how many of these users stayed for good. Give what people on here have said though it sounds like it was a fair amount.
Was skimming through FediDB on my phone and saw they seem to have stats of their own, though a bit more incomplete, seemingly only up to the past month.
Will see on a PC if they have a proper way of tracking.
