MAU Peak (in last 7 Days):
- Snac (4711, All-Time Peak)
- Bookwyrm (9285, 1-Year Peak)
- NeoDB (1852, 6-Month Peak)
- Catodon (242, All-Time Peak)
- Funkwhale (462, 3-Month Peak)
Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days):
Mbin (7/7)- Catodon (6/7)
Weekly Growth (>3%, >500 MAU):
Mbin (+9.6%)- Mastodon (+12.1%)
- Snac (+8.5%)
Bookwyrm (+12.4%)- Forgejo (+5.5%)
Note: Data is from 3 separate data sources and spliced together with 5-point calibration curves. Expect oddities.
Remarks:
- Mbin’s growth is basically one server that has been hit by spam bots (ferment.site 0 -> 82 MAU) :(
- Bookwrym’s growth also looks to be a continuation of a spam wave (bookwrym.social: 2087 MAU on 2026-10-29 -> 5143 MAU on 2026-10-30).

- Source: [1] Fedilist with calibrated Fedindex covering 20261017 to 20261011 and calibrated Fediverse-Observer (dead) covering 20261010 to 20221130, [2] FediDB, Analysis Code
Notes:
- Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [~555] activitypub enabled software.
- Daily Fedilist data gathering began 20261018. Data before 20261018 is calibrated to Fedilist data via 5-point calibration curves (not ideal). FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data).
- 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).
