Fediverse

Seems the trend continued in the days after you posted this graph.

I'd like to point out that a similar thing happened to Lemmy back when the Reddit exodus happened. We have to keep in mind that growth might happen suddenly. But it doesn't necessarily continue indefinitely. And a large chunk of users are likely not to stay. But with this said, it's a good thing. We need independent platforms. Now more than ever.

Lies, damn lies, and graphs that don't have the Y-axis starting at 0.

10% growth in a day is nice, but far from a revolution. Let's see this trend going for a month.

To be fair, the Y-Axis doesn't start from zero.

That being said, 10% account growth in 2 days is pretty solid. Let's hope both account creation and engagement metrics (MAUs/DAUs) keep growing.

EDIT: Correct Axis type.

For other nerds that absolutely hate dishonest and biased graphs, I present the normalized data. Wow. What a vertical line. 🤦‍♀️

Just a FYI, Dan who made Pixelfed also does Loops and a few other Fedi projects in case people want more cool stuff to play with.

I signed up, though I generally don’t like following individuals and much prefer groups or communities like Lemmy. Gotta support independent social media.

I wish they would put the official app on F-Droid. I use PixelDroid, but it'd still be nice to try.

This is what a good app does to a MF.

Impressive indeed

• https://fedidb.org/software/pixelfed

Both sites have different monthly active users numbers, but between 42k and 52k is quite impressive

You have zoomed in. I want to see the y axel from 0. It have increased with 10% of the users.

Happy to see!

I wondering what caused such jump.

wow, it's really cool. I have also made an account on gram.social (pixelfed server). so far I am liking it :)

I tried self hosting Pixelfed but gave up because it wouldn't work. I'm used to Docker containers that are able to just start up by themselves, but the guide didn't work for me. Maybe it's time to try again.

I'm not sure the graph is accurate.

What are you supposed to put in the "server url" field in Pixelix? I put the instance I have an account on, because I don't have any other information that would make sense to put there, but nothing happens when I tap the arrow.

Also, what the fuck, fediverse. It's exactly this kind of bullshit that's why nobody joins you. Fix it for Christ's sake. Something this unintuitive doesn't even belong in a beta build. If I was a paid instagram plant making this app to frustrate people into going back to instagram, this is the splash screen I'd use. Stop making it impossible to recommend you in good faith to people I like.
