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?

so who is this for?

for myself, for example. i want to see more diverse content.

I'm starting a few Fediverse only photo challenges. Don't know if I'll fall on my face or not, but if you don't try you won't ever get anywhere.
