▲ 943 ▼ Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing (media.piefed.social) submitted 1 year ago* by mesamunefire@piefed.social to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 137 comments fedilink hide all child comments Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000 (and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger). 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!
