Other Notes:
- Rebuilt basically all of the script to be easier to be easier to understand and adapt (make a plan before you start, it'll save time...)
- Added the feature to remove instances/servers from analysis (let me know if you have any that should be removed and the reason)
- Added an actually useful/interesting version of the relative instance comparison in retention tables
- Squashed some bugs, maybe introduced some new ones, but they should be easier to squash now with the rewrite
- Probably getting close to the final version of this script. Still remaining: potentially condense MAU's 3 tables to one, rework "Meta" table (potentially add some additional analysis), create automated takeaways function.

Returning from Absence (Change in MAU over day – Change in Total Users over day):
- A positive number shows how many users who haven’t be active in over a month (MAU) or half-year (HYAU) have returned to activity. A negative number means (x) users have stayed away for greater than 1 month (MAU) or 6 months (HYAU).
Retention:
- MAU/HYAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is. The higher the number, the ‘sticker’ the server.
- MAU/Total: Roughly indicates short term growth.
- HYAU/Total: Roughly indicates medium term growth.
- Relative: Roughly indicates how stickiness or growth compares across instances, relative to how long they have been active (natural logorithmic fit). Positive percent indicates they have an (x)% higher stickiness/growth compared to other instances active for the same amount of time.

Software Comparison:
| Meta Analysis (Current) | Servers | Average Server Age (Days) | Servers (Single User) | Servers (Single User, %) | Avg Users per Server | Servers (less than Avg Users) | Servers (less than Avg Users, %) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piefed | 102 | 280 | 26 | 25% | 68 | 72 | 71% | ||
| Lemmy | 571 | 761 | 175 | 31% | 62 | 433 | 76% | ||
| Mbin | 16 | 749 | 4 | 25% | 55 | 13 | 81% |
Servers (less than Avg Users, %):
- A lower number would indicate a more uniform distribution of users across servers.
List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer
Notes:
- Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all 600+ servers) on codeburg in the future.
- Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
- I can now selectively remove servers from the analysis. If you see any servers that shouldn't be there, let me know (with a reason).
Edit: Fixed table formatting. I forgot to update the alignment line in the tables (retention and activity) to match the header and cells. On PC it worked without issue, but it seems I need to do things properly to show up correctly on mobile. Appreciate the heads up kingofras.

Some summary diagrams for easier digestion
piefed is goontopia. nice.
is lemmy.world's percentage of the Threadiverse shrinking/being redistributed over time?
Looks like 2 months ago (2026-05-17) Lemmy.world was ~38.5% of Lemmy (13163 MAU). Today (2026-07-25) it is ~37.9% (13273 MAU).
So, it's gotten a few more users (~100), but Lemmy got relatively bigger during that time bringing down their % of the Lemmy community.
This does not account for Piefed and Mbin which both increased during the same 2 months (roughly +3000 MAU between them).
To conclude, Lemmy.world is propositionally smaller within Lemmy and within the wider threadiverse, compared to 2 months ago.
Tldr; we’re not taking over the internet anytime soon. And if we are, porn will be what brings us more denizens.
Thanks for sharing OP.
Haha. Yeah, seems like it.
It's weird how PC and phone display the tables differently. I'll look into it shortly and get it sorted out. Thanks for the heads up.
Edit: should be all good now.
