Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there’s a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I’m curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?
side note: I’m trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.
I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.
And this is your only comment. Congrats on setting up an instance.
EDIT: Apparently my instance hasn’t been completely federated yet and I can’t see all the comments yet.
Thanks @TORFdot0 for the response.
Oh, we’ve been around for 1,5 years. Just never been big enough to get on the join-lemmy.org page.
Thanks though!
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Be patient. We are going up not down
This website says:
Total Servers: 18,851
+19K since last monthSo last month there -149 servers?
All of the numbers are rounded. Maybe this is the first month collecting data so everything is starting from 0?
IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again
that source says that the fediverse has more MAU then other sources on fediverse stats.
Generally yes.
And this is my weekly reminder to work on a way to collect that data.
Lemmy and other fediverse platforms have, in general, trended towards an increase in users. Been here for a year and I can assure you I have noticed a slow increase in activity.
