The combined threadiverse rocks ! 🦾

I admit i don't understand lemmy graph in march. Losing so much users in the span of three months is probably an error.

Is that when lemm.ee went down?

Probably technical stuff related to incremental activitypub support in nodebb. Let's just ask, Julian. I hope that's the correct handle. 🙂

I apologize in advance for the ping : @julian@community.nodebb.org

How wrong I was, apparently.

What's the story there?

It's kinda true if your view of the fediverse is just Mastodon and friends. But once you expand the definition of fediverse to be "anything that uses ActivityPub", e.g. the threadiverse, it is much less true.

I'm hoping to bridge that gap, better than it has been in the past.

This is why PieFed added the option to follow Mastodon users recently.

TL:DR - The threadiverse (Lemmy+Piefed+Mbin) is:

  • 1 month ago: +0.8%
  • 3 months ago: +7.2%
  • 6 months ago: -5.2%
  • 1 year ago: +0.1%

Basically, roughly 5k MAU moved from Lemmy to Piefed.

Edit: alt threadiverse link

I can't achieve that with the website fediobserver. We will have to open a table but i'm too lazy ^^

That's most interesting to me, to see whether the Threadiverse as a whole is bleeding users or people are just moving from Lemmy to Piefed.

Those users are for sure 99% spam bots.

Few kittens purpose a writefreely instance

Or do most people using it self-host that software?
