We are seeing: A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365 And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365 Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365 Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365 Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
