I don't even use Pixelfed, but its growth is kind of interesting to me:
- its recent rise
- its subsequent plateau
- its (expected) ebbing
The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)
Furthermore, it's also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it's not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in -- looks like brand-new active participants.
Any idea what caused this? Another "migrate" campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?
I am so sorry to hear that. I run the Margit profile in your instance, but I wasn't aware of your plans to shut it down.
Yeah, it's not been easy to moderate, update, & use. If enough people are interested, I'm open to keeping it running as a closed instance. The biggest issue is that there isn't an out-of-the-box way for me to message all the local accounts to discuss this.
Don't worry much about my cat. I will totally respect any decision.
