Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing?

This is the only comment your instance knows about because of the way federation works. I can see his comment history goes back 1.7 years

I feel like I see a lot of fresh faces on Lemmy. It’s nice!
I'm one of them heeeeyyyy

I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.
I think being added to join-lemmy definitely helps but people that are already on Lemmy aren’t going to that site so it definitely shows that we are growing (or at least replacing people at a decent rate)
Sounds like you have a good instance, congrats on the growth

You might want to set up a federation account on your instance, and add it on https://lemmy-federate.com/ for easy federation

Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?
side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.
And this is my weekly reminder to work on a way to collect that data.

You can register it. It will send you a dm on lemmy to validate. No password needed

I think we all need to learn to be okay with having less content. Makes the platform less addictive and makes us less prone to doom scrolling I think.
Yes and it's higher quality content, reddit us pages of pure shit

I disagree. I tried to cross post to the silos for 11 years https://jeena.net/notes/1 and I couldn't move anyone to an alternative platform. Cross posting only legitimizes the other platform and gives them free content to exploit.
Idk how you exploit content. It's ussually the creators that get exploited. The idea is you put the content out there and put an impression on people so eventually they start thinking about them think about comming to Lemmy. I got nothing if you don't want to support x or twitter by crossposting from Lemmy.
I still say Lemmy/fediverse needs to build more niches community's up more than it needs to market so that way people stick around or engage more, so people don't drop off the platform from boredom

Lemmy and other fediverse platforms have, in general, trended towards an increase in users. Been here for a year and I can assure you I have noticed a slow increase in activity.

And I'm saying after cross posting for years nobody cares and they are all happy to read your posts on Musks or Zuckerbergs platform surrounded by ads and making those billionaires even richer.
Those people will not switch as long as you put the content conveniently there, there is no incentive for them. And even once you stop they still will not move from there because it's just too convenient to not move.
I for one don't want to put more money into billionaires pockets, therefore I'm advocating against cross posting automatically.

I know Instagram puts it's content on Facebook to get people to sign up for Instagram. I know they're both meta.
It's pretty intrusive, but it's evidence that it works.
But I'm more on the lines of make more features
