Most Prolific Users

Most Posts per Day per User (>30 MAU):

  • Piefed: quokk.au* (0.29)

  • Piefed: quokk.au* (1.00)
  • Lemmy: hexbear.net (0.79)
  • Mbin: kbin.earth (0.33)

Note:

  • Changed the "-1 Month" data analysis to be 28D instead of 30D, because there is missing data 30D ago. Probably change it back next week.
  • Added all the features I wanted to (got a ~40% reduction in run time [~28min -> ~16min]), so a little code clean up and I'll throw the analysis up on Codeburg.
  • "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.

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)ServersServers (Alive %, #)Average Alive Server Age (Days)Avg Users per Alive Server^1^Single User Servers (% of Alive, (#))Uniformity Method 1 (Lower Better)Uniformity Method 2 (Higher Better)
Piefed11048% (53)35817526% (14)9%23%

Mbin2365% (15)7957420% (3)15%32%

Note:

  • "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.
  • [1] % does not include single user servers.
  • Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.

Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer

Notes:

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all ~700 servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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).
  4. I can now easily selectively identify servers running forks. If you see any servers that aren't identified as such, let me know.

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

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.

Note:

  • "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.
  • [1] % does not include single user servers.
  • Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.

Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all ~700 servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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).
  4. I can now easily selectively identify servers running forks. If you see any servers that aren't identified as such, let me know.

Edit: Refactored a few things and squashed some bugs that prevented some data from showing up in the tables (should have more complete tables from now on).

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Notes

  • Finished removing the final hard-coding that prevented adaptive analysis lengths (ex. [1D, 7D] vs [1D, 7D, 30D, 90D]). I'll have 90 Day data available next week.
  • Rimu brought my attention to the fact some of the Piefed servers are running a soft-fork (now denoted by a *). I'm going to keep them in the Piefed column unless a hard schism occurs. Feel free to let me know if any other servers are running forks (Piefed, Lemmy, or Mbin)
  • I think I have ~5 minor improvements to make before I'll throw it up on Codeburg.

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.

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)ServersServers (Alive %, #)Average Alive Server Age (Days)Avg Users per Alive Server^1^Single User Servers (% of Alive, (#))Uniformity Method 1 (Lower Better)Uniformity Method 2 (Higher Better)

Mbin2268% (15)8077827% (4)16%31%

Note:

  • "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.
  • [1] % does not include single user servers.
  • Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.

Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer

Notes:

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all ~700 servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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).
  4. I can now easily selectively identify servers running forks. If you see any servers that aren't identified as such, let me know.

Edit: Fixed markdown formatting issue.

Content Language Issue (Piefed)

I just found the "Content Language" in Piefed Preferences (on desktop) and enabled it, after removing the foreign language instances I had blocked previously. The preferences appears to be 99% working on desktop browser (chromium), but not working on mobile via voyager.

Is Piefed's "Content Language" an enabled feature on Voyager? If so, how can I enable it on Voyager, if it's already enabled on my piefed account?

Growth of the Fediverse (20260809)

Takeaways:

  • All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): Piefed(7275)
  • Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days): Bookwyrm(6/7), Friendica(6/7)
  • Weekly Growth (>5%, >500 MAU): Friendica(+6.3%)

Notes:

  • Looks like NodeBB lost contact with a large server yesterday, so that dip may be temporary (if connection is reestablished)
  • MBin "loss" is a correction from an over-count of users. 1 server (142 MAU) was counted twice under different names. Now that's been corrected. So, really MBin is +10 MAU this week.

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

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.

Note: 'Historical' rates are going to be biased toward being lower than current (fewer users before now/historically). 'Last Week [7D]' > 'Historic' indicates the instance is likely not declining (greater activity this week than previously.

Note:

  • [1] % does not include single user servers.
  • Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.

Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer

Notes:

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all ~700 servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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).

Growth of the Fediverse (20260802)

Takeaways:

  • All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): Piefed(7258), Writefreely(325326), Vernissage(242)
  • Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days): Piefed(7/7), Writefreely(7/7), Loops(6/7), Bookwyrm(6/7), Vernissage(7/7)
  • Weekly Growth (>5%, >500 MAU): Piefed(+7.5%), Pixelfed(+8.0%), Writefreely(+39.3%), Bookwyrm(+6.5%)

Notes:

  • Fediverse-Observer added piefed.zip to their server list (Yay!), so Piefed is likely only under-counted by ~100 MAU (pre v1.7 bug; >30 MAU piefed servers that haven't upgraded yet: .world, .blahaj.zone).
  • I started checking more into Writefreely's explosive growth. Talked with the Fediverse-Observer dev and there's no issues/changes on their end... Looks like writefreely servers are infested by bots (ex. blog.dakloifarwa.de/read) :(
  • If anyone has any capability and interest it might be worthwhile to reach out to the Writefreely devs and offering your insight/knowledge into how to stop the bots (Github, Mastodon).

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Edit: removed Writefreely due to its bot problem.

Edit 2: fixed cross out formating on mobile.

Growth of the Instances (20260728)

Takeaways

MAU Growth (Highest #):

  • Piefed: fedinsfw.app (252)
  • Lemmy: hexbear.net (26)
  • Mbin: thebrainbin.org (3)

MAU Growth (>3%, >30 MAU):

  • Piefed: fedinsfw.app (6.9%), piefed.social (3.9%), piefed.ca (4.9%), piefed.world (5.6%), ero.ani.social (29.0%)
  • Lemmy: none
  • Mbin: thebrainbin.org (8.8%), agora.energieincomune.com (3.3%)

Users Returning from Absence (MAU, HYAU):

  • Piefed: piefed.social (39:MAU), piefed.ca (10:MAU), piefed.zip (2:MAU), multiverse.soulism.net (2:MAU)
  • Lemmy: hexbear.net (22:MAU), lemmy.blahaj.zone (7:MAU), sopuli.xyz (2:HYAU), feddit.uk (1:HYAU), infosec.pub (4:MAU,3:HYAU), beehaw.org (2:MAU)

Stickiest Instance (MAU/HYAU; >30 MAU, >180 Days Active):

  • Piefed: tarte.nuage-libre.fr (56%)
  • Lemmy: hexbear.net (65%)
  • Mbin: kbin.earth (45%)

Most Prolific Users

Most Posts per Day per User (>30 MAU):

  • Piefed: quokk.au (0.45)
  • Lemmy: lemmy.today (0.21)
  • Mbin: tardigram.com (0.29)

Most Comments per Day per User (>30 MAU):

  • Piefed: quokk.au (2.94)
  • Lemmy: hexbear.net (0.88)
  • Mbin: thebrainbin.org (0.36)

Notes:

  • Reworked the “Meta” table (new uniformity calculations) and created functions to automate the "takeaways" section (saves me 10+ minutes every week).
  • Tried to integrate the 3 MAU tables into one. It looked real bad. If anyone has thoughts on how to present that data better, let me know.
  • Most of the rework is done (getting close to dropping it on codeburg). There's still a potential bug I want to squash regarding the selected days for comparison (1D and 7D; soon 30D). No one would have seen it, but if someone else tried to use the code and ran into it, they would have a difficult time figuring out what was happening or why.
  • hackingne.ws showed up as a mirror of Lemmy.world. I removed it from the analysis, but just thought it was weird.

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.

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.

  • [1] % does not include single user servers.
  • Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accuracte representation of uniformity.

Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer

Notes:

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all ~700 servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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 formatting issue on Total Monthly Active Users table's Summary section.
Edit 2: Fixed "Most Comments per Day per User" from "Posts". Thanks [email protected] for the heads up.
Edit 3: Fixed formatting of "Meta" table for mobile.

Growth of the Fediverse (20260726)

Takeaways:

  • All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): Piefed(6753), Writefreely(233609), Vernissage(205)
  • Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days): Piefed(7/7), Pixelfed(7/7), Writefreely(7/7), Vernissage(6/7)
  • Weekly Growth (>5%, >500 MAU): Piefed(+5.9%), Pixelfed(+18.5%), Writefreely(+192.3%)

High-Level Notes:

  • Writefreely is absolutely exploding right now (3x last week, 23x last month, 100x 3-months ago)
  • Piefed is still likely under-counted by a few hundred MAU (due to an activity error, corrected in v1.7) and missing piefed.zip (not counted by fediverse.observer). I'd estimate piefed is at ~7200 right now.
  • Vernissage recent growth seems to be just natural (not new update causing people to check it out or a big server being recently found)

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Edit: Added the "High-Level Notes" header, removed excess period punctuation, and add piefed estimate sentence.

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.

  • A lower number would indicate a more uniform distribution of users across servers.
    List of Instances Source: Fediverse-Observer

Notes:

  1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed. May throw full analysis (all 600+ servers) on codeburg in the future.
  2. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
  3. 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.

Growth of the Fediverse (20260720)

Takeaways:

  • All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): Piefed(6377), Writefreely(79931)
  • Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days): Piefed(7/7), Mastodon(7/7), NodeBB(7/7), Writefreely(7/7), Bookwyrm(6/7), Vernissage(7/7), Flohmarkt(6/7)
  • Weekly Growth (>5%, >500 MAU): Piefed(+7.8%), NodeBB(+5.0%), Writefreely(+565.6%), Bookwyrm(+5.3%)
  • Piefed finally broke its previous all-time maximum (6179, 2026-03-01) on 2026-07-15.
  • Piefed is likely under-counted by a couple hundred MAU (due to an activity error, corrected in v1.7) as about half (5/9) of the "medium-sized" instances (30 < size < 300 MAU) haven't upgraded yet. Also, an additional couple hundred from piefed.zip, not counted by fediverse.observer.
  • Writefreely absolutely blew up in the last couple days. Not sure why. Their V0.17 released a couple days ago, but most of the large servers I checked hadn't upgraded yet. Maybe a change on fediverse.observer's end (but not a software change, last update looks like 3 months ago)?

Notes:

  1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
  2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
  3. FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

Edit: Added mention about a couple hundred MAU from piefed.zip missing from the Piefed total.

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 (logorithmic fit). Positive percent indicates they have an (x)% higher stickiness/growth compared to other instances active for the same amount of time.
