It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

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.

    Why not just count the two together? At 40k across lemmy + piefed, that’s not bad.

      The website does not provide for that, which is why I mentioned both separately.

      Note that the numbers then are still shrinking.

      I personally have an account on both, which helps illustrate the difficulties of combining the two number pools - these are absolutely not additional people, or rather only some are but nobody knows how much.

      Which reminds me, I think the way this website counts numbers, lemm.ee may not be represented at all, even as a decrease in counts from the past? If true, then the actual number of the drop is much larger than shown. But I don’t know the details there.

      I was avoiding commenting about the goodness or badness of the situation, just focusing on the direction of the change.
