Yeah it’s total accounts, total monthly active users is more like a million
Weslee@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Out of curiosity, why do you have 7 accounts?

- Multi-community simulator
- Defederation avoidance, usually paired with accounts on special interest servers you don’t want to risk losing access to.
- Porn and non-porn.
- Privacy by dividing online activities between multiple accounts to make it difficult to profile you and maintain some pseudonymity.

In my case, somewhat chronological order:
- First Mastodon account, on server that is unmaintained but still running.
- Funkwhale
- Mastodon with full name for academic use, on relevant server
- BookWyrm
- Kbin (dead now)
- New Mastodon for hobby interests, as the server of my first account is worthless at this point
- Piefed
- My professional website is in the early stages of federating as well. Still work in progress, but I follow myself and it somewhat works

It’s not too hard. There are a bunch of different platforms one might experiment with as well as instances. Some will use multiple accounts for different needs or interests. On lemmy, multi accounts are useful for have different feeds, for example. I probably have 7-10. I’ve probably forgotten about a few of them. If you’re curious, it happens.

Some on different services, some with different subscriptions, some on different servers, etc.

I wish I didn’t have to, but federation for technical or political doesn’t work so well so I need an account for Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, and other less popular apps like Akkoma. Though 90% of my activity is on Lemmy.

Why 7?

And Switzerland just closed their instance in part due to what they claim is a declining user base.

Is that total users, or active users?
rglullis@communick.news 3 months ago
They can. Servers that are delisted or go offline are removed from the counts.

They just hit 10 million last week. I’m just making a joke, don’t take it too seriously. I use both.

I was told just last month that the fediverse had 60,000ish people. How the fuck did it go from 60k to 12Mil in 1 month???

I really like it here, it feels like early Reddit after the dog exodus.

Lemmy is almost at 400k users alone. (391,247 ATM of writing). Its probably higher as there are servers that dont federate.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
Dang. I had kind of hoped this had been increasing a bit over the months.

Misskey? 🤔 I heard it’s something Japanese? So probably a lot of Japanese fediverse users use it? I don’t think I’ve seen somebody from misskey in my interactions with the fediverse. Are they self-contained or something?
EnderMB@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It surprises me a little, because on some instances there seems to be a lot of power users/tech influencer types, but not a lot of engagement between smaller accounts. How many of these accounts are active within the last week?
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 months ago
That’s probably just Lemmy active user you’ve heard, as the majority of user for fediverse is from mastodon. 12m is total user for the whole fediverse, active user is around 1m.
Sauce from here: fedidb.org
Mwa@lemm.ee 3 months ago
happy to be part of the fediverse
mesamunefire@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Note, different websites have different total user counts. fedidb kinda goes up and down and I dont understand why.
But for example fedidb states 7,494,053 total Mastodon users whereas mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount states 15,467,187 accounts Pretty big difference. So there is probably much more accounts than what fedidb has. Or other counts are off by a large factor. Either way, lots of new faces in the fediverse! If anyone knows why theres such as discrepancy, let us know!

But shows different numbers.
obinice@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s pretty dang cool, and 12 is my favourite number too :-)
What’s your favourite number?
rglullis@communick.news 3 months ago
Total user count is a vanity metric. Monthly active users is more relevant and on that we are still way off from the ATH of 2.1 million from 2023.
Also, with the nature of the Fediverse where one single person can have multiple accounts, even this metric might be bogus.
Huschke@lemmy.world 2 months ago
As opposed to other social media platforms like reddit where you can only have one, right? 😜
rglullis@communick.news 2 months ago
I didn’t say that reddit’s metrics were any better so your gotcha makes no sense.
