Wow. I knew Lemmy far outweighed other software on the threadiverse side, but that's actually pretty comical. *waves to the other weirdos*

Piefed has gained a hundred active users last month! Just 40 more years of this, and we're bigger than Lemmy at its current size.

Tremble before us!

I expect a quite large move once the Piefed mobile apps gets released

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

yep. I’ll switch at that point.

kbin.social had a lot of users, but its death killed its popularity. Barely anyone moved over to Mbin instances.

That makes sense, the most prominent instance and upstream project dropping off probably shook a lot of confidence at a time when a lot of people were looking for a reliable Reddit substitute. I wonder where they mostly went, between Lemmy and back to Reddit. Personally, I went from kbin.social to fedia.io, but clearly I'm not representative.

Lemmy would be my guess. Not thinking the people who left reddit would go back for any reason, especially with reddit getting worse by the year.

I'm very glad to see this!

I hope piefed (and mbin) too get more popular. Piefed has implemented feeds, and is going to get an API that is similar to lemmy, so we can use most lemmy apps/clients :DD

Woohoo! Only 4% growth until we hit the big 50k! Good work, everyone!

Do we have a sense of what that dropoff from 2/11 to 2/12 is? At first I was thinking it might be that hexbear outage, but if I understand it right the MAU stat is robust against that. I was guessing it was some kind of data-processing artifact.

Hexbear outage would still impact monthly active users who only visit once in a while? Not sure to be honest
