I think if there was a BlueSky-esque version of Lemmy that had a super simple signup - but was also federated - it would get people on board faster.
Isn't that just linking a specific instance? You can link them directly to the community or the signup page, it's just as simple as Bluesky at that point, don't even tell them that other instances exist, don't even say the name "Lemmy"
on fediverse observer, you need to switch to daily stats not monthly stats, right now it says 53,225 MAU for March 13th as the latest datapoint

fedidb is probably doing something similar, just showing the average for the whole month, instead of the current day
