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.

- Source: [1] Fediverse-Observer, [2] FediDB, Analysis Code
Notes:
- Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [112] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
- 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].
- 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).
