I made this post today, https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1quso40/comment/o3evucz/ It got 150k+ views, piefed.social etc. has seen a big spike in users.

If possible I want to copy-paste that recipe in r/BuyCanadian tomorrow to get more Canadians onboard here. But I need a nice image of a graph for the post to work.

Anyone know where I can get a graph like that? Admins?

Yeah. January 29 was a post on reddit that did well and was kept up. Then if I understand correctly on the 6th it was posted again to the same community with a graph or something, but the post was not kept up. Nevertheless it caused a new pretty neat spike in users.

Current number is 1148. I'm on mobile right now, but if anyone runs this in R it'll procduce an up to date graph:



mau <- c(109, 114, 114, 114, 120, 123, 370, 502, 569, 588, 602, 611, 613, 969, 987, 992, 993, 995)  
Date <- as.Date(as.Date("2026-01-24"):as.Date("2026-02-10"))  
plot(Date, mau, type="l", ylab="Monthly active users", lwd="2", main="Monthly active users of piefed.ca",  
     col="#D80621", xaxs="i", yaxs="i", ylim=c(0,1000))  
grid()  

Active users have now doubled in a week. Though it's a slightly misleading measure as an active user that just signed up is much less reliable than an active user who signed up two years ago. But that doesn't really matter if the purpose is to use it for promotional purposes. :)
