I don’t even use Pixelfed, but its growth is kind of interesting to me:

The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)

Furthermore, it’s also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it’s not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in – looks like brand-new active participants.

Any idea what caused this? Another “migrate” campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?

    It’s really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

    Maybe because Meta is going to use your photos and all the other shit you post to train their AI models.

    I think they started doing this 2 days ago, it was in the news, here in Europe at least.

    I joined PixelFed after the initial hype, but the app wasn’t full featured enough nor did a lot of accounts move over from Instagram like they did from Twitter to Blue Sky so I fell off pretty fast.

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

      I understood nothing you just said. Are you an alien from mars, who’s almost learned english, but not quite?

      Because if so…that’s pretty impressive. But also, you should leave earth. Humans have been known to kill other humans for having a different skin color, or for believing in a different magical man in the sky. I can’t imagine what they’d do to someone from another planet!

      Earth is not tolerant of others.
