• Source: [1] Fediverse-Observer, [2] FediDB
  

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 post, if interested in learning more).
4. Weirdly Loops has a ~3 week gap in data about a year ago (should be last week of gap).
   

Takeaways:

• Positive Daily Growth (last 7 Days): Piefed; Bookwyrm close (⁶⁄₇ days)
  
• Weekly Growth (>10%): Piefed
  
• Lemmy appears to still be jumping around with a relatively large server (~4k MAU) coming in and out.
  
• Loops seems to be close to stabilizing after drop-off following large gains. Possibly stabilize soon around 2x what it was 3-months ago.
  
• Overall middling week for the Fediverse.

Which Lemmy server is “jumping in and out”?

No idea. There isn’t an instance at ~4k on fedidb (nothing even in the range: 14k then next is 2k).

I’ll try figuring it out next time it “jumps” into fediverse-observer.

As usual, thank you for the post!
