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 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).
   
4. Weirdly Loops has a ~3 week gap in data about a year ago ( this should be last week of gap).
   

Interesting numbers, it doesn’t feel that the Threadyverse is so small, but the numbers are very few, especially PieFed feels like it’s many more people.

The threadiverse is all interconnected. So it doesn’t really matter if you are on Piefed, Lemmy, or Mbin. They should all feel pretty much the same (same number of users because they are the same users, haha).
