It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

Total users are huge now.
There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.
Are you certain these are unique accounts?
@the_fuckler
Not necessarily.
There is a count of *active* accounts (i.e. accounts that someone is actually using), so there's that.
But since nobody on the Fediverse knows who anybody is in real life (except for the few who use their real name), there's no way to know how many accounts are non-unique.
There could, for example, be one person who actively uses accounts on both Mastodon and Piefed.
@mesamunefire
Someone that is active every hour of the day probably isn’t a person.
Hey, we may be terminally online but we're still people!
(some of us anyway:-P)
Some of those power users have a bot running or use scheduled posts.
Thats what I do. Piefed scheduled posts. Very nifty.
No idea but you can check here from the official sources and pulls: https://fediverse.observer/history
