<![CDATA[Fediverse is Continuing, Growing, and Strong]]>It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again.

Total users are huge now.

There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.

Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.

We observe all Fediverse Sites. Find a Fediverse site to sign up for, find one close to you using a list, map or let us auto-pick one for you!

Guess we both replied basically the same thing to the post.

Does look like +50k real growth over the last month. With the caveat that that is only counting the software I track, so could be greater.

There's likely spam waves hitting pixelfed (~300k), 2 months ago a spam wave hit writefreely (~170k), and possibly Bookwrym currently (~4k).
