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.

Hoping it's true, generally when I see posts about how strong and successful something is, it hits like a warning sign that it's struggling / at risk and someone is trying to project growth for attraction / retention.

I assume I'm not the only one with this kind of mental filter. Maybe there's a way to go about it that would get the impression across without ringing that alarm?

Maybe a show don't tell kind of tact? Like "check out all this new content being generated by the influx of users"... or a backhanded thing like "here's how to protect your insrance against recent traffic surges"?

Idk I'm no expert. Hope it's helpful but otherwise just ignore me~

Idk man, you're kinda right but also like what do we need cheerleaders for. Im gonna show this people and they're gonna sign up because lemmy is growing or something?

Idk just useless information as far as i can tell, theres no ceo of the fediverse trying to maximize growth or whatever so who is this for?

I am the CEO of the fediverse but I'm struggling. If you send $7 to my account, I will reimburse you $2m when we succeed. My scam coin wallet address is "0", please reply quickly... I can not hold long

I wish there was a website that had like three major aggregators instead of just the one. The issue I come across is these sites all have something missing. For the fediverse observer, they sometimes do retro activity that doesn't pop up until you look at the graph again.

What I can tell you anecdotally is i am seeing a lot more engagement with content faces are sticking around last couple of months. So I pulled the numbers from the aggregator that I know at least lets you audit the numbers. But its still not perfect.
