Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
-
Excellent point, do you happen to know where I can find longer-term usage data?
-
the more popular places on the Fediverse seem to be stagnating right now
Dunno, from Fediverse Observer, it looks like lemmy and mastodon are growing slowly over the last couple weeks. (the mastodon stats look a little weird tho -- there's a plummet on Jan 30th that looks like a data collection artifact.)

I couldn't find anything
oddly, fediverse.observer actually was logging data before that time but it's only accessible to me via wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20241010192709/https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats
@[email protected] any reason fediverse.observer is limited to only a few months? (no clue if this cross-platform ping will work but giving it a shot)

I can get about one user at a time, if I sit with them and explain it. The Fediverse is essentially the scene in Silicon Valley when Richard sits down with the focus group to explain to them for 3 hours how his software works. It's really cool. It should be the way forward, but the masses have no idea how this works and don't care to. They want a button to install. They want to search for their friend and find them immediately. I haven't found any fediverse software that can just do that much, let alone everything else that's expected.

that's because you're supposed to follow people you want to see. you know, social media.

Though, I'd argue if we were awesome and had something truly nice to offer, we'd grow on our own. And not just if someone else messes up and becomes unbearable. But it's complicated.

Dans actions will decide user retention, I think.

It depends. I don’t feel forced to go on there because it has none of my friends.
Obviously I’ll go once every few weeks to check out cool photography but I’m really not an active user there.
