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.

Software Comparison:

Meta Analysis (Current) Servers Servers (Alive %, #) Average Alive Server Age (Days) Avg Users per Alive Server1 Single User Servers (% of Alive, (#)) Uniformity Method 1 (Lower Better) Uniformity Method 2 (Higher Better)
Piefed 103 64% (66) 315 163 35% (23) 9% 15%
Lemmy 571 56% (321) 835 235 54% (172) 3% 21%
Mbin 22 68% (15) 793 78 27% (4) 16% 32%

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 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 Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com for the heads up.
Edit 3: Fixed formatting of “Meta” table for mobile.
