MAU Peak (in last 7 Days):

  • Mastodon (880413, 3-Month Peak)
  • Pixelfed (402554, All-Time Peak)
  • Peertube (58048, All-Time Peak)
  • Snac (4584, All-Time Peak)
  • Bookwyrm (5191, 1-Year Peak)
  • Friendica (2996, 1-Year Peak)
  • Forgejo (178, 6-Month Peak)
  • Catodon (116, 3-Month Peak)

Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days):

  • Pixelfed (6/7)
  • Peertube (6/7)
  • Snac (6/7)
  • Bookwyrm (6/7)
  • Friendica (6/7)

Weekly Growth (>3%, >500 MAU):

  • Pixelfed (+7.0%)
  • Peertube (+4.2%)
  • Bookwyrm (+6.6%)
  • Friendica (+4.1%)

Notes:

  • As discussed previously, Pixelfed’s growth seems very suspicious to me (~4x in 1 month). TL:DR I think a significant portion is a spam wave.
  • BookWyrm’s one Italian sever is still growing. Maybe the Italians have jumped on the bookwyrm train?
  • Not shown, but Writefreely spam accounts may be going silent. MAU is trending down toward its pre-spam level (~400k -> ~56k, while likely real users is ~15k). Could be spammers aren’t seeing a return-on-investment from spamming the fediverse. Alternatives could be the servers are addressing their spam account problem or the spam accounts are just going dormant.

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] 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 only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Edit: added the correct title date.

    Eh, I don’t see a significant exodus from the threadiverse. I’d say it’s with in variance (41k +/-2000 over the last year).

    It’d be nice if it went up significantly, but I’ll take relatively stable.
