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.

Yeah, you can tell, way more conservative liberals on here than there used to be.

I haven't gotten any new users on my app so this has to be fake

Once AI starts stealing from us you'll know we've arrived.

That’s already a massive problem that brings down instances all the time.

Well, an alternative explanation would be LLM agent accounts, which started to appear on the fediverse around the time the above graph started to go up.

Here on Lemmy they are a bit delayed and only started to sign up in larger quantities in the last 2-3 months.

If you build it, they will come.
