@marcelcosta it's fine with me if people want to cut-and-paste the questions to the socialhub thread but I like my discussions about the #fediverse to take place in the fediverse! I agree that discourse is currently much better to keep track of discussions but there's no inherent reason the fediverse should be bad for that and "eating our own dogfood" creates pressure to improve things here.

@jupiter_rowland Is there actually a refusal to count those? Or is it just a combination of measurement artifacts (some don't show users) and that their numbers are too small to show up at this point? Calckey's growth for example is from a tiny starting point.

@marcelcosta @jupiter_rowland @tchambers agreed, it's useful data despite the quirks-- and there's clearly interest!
There are several other measures of software and instance diversity that seem interesting to me: Mastodon's share of the overall Fediverse, mastodon.social's share of Mastodon, the top 10 instances' share of Mastodon, percentage of single-user instances and so on.

@jupiter_rowland No, I didn't expect it to only to be about Mastodon -- in fact the article was very clear that "the active account data refers only to Mastodon servers, as other software don’t necessarily give this information". I was just highlighting that two large instances that disappeared from the stats and neither of them are Mastodon, so that implies something janky going on with the stats.

@tchambers @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediversenews Interesting! Although there are some quirks in the data, with joindiaspora and diasp.org (neither of which are Mastodon) in last March's accounts and not the current list, and with mastodon.cloud and gc2.jp going from over 10% of MAU to not appearing at all in the latest statistics.

@maegul one piece of the answer's the same as it's been for the last 6 years: make account mobility easier and better (even if still imperfect). But then again, that would make it easier for people to migrate from .social, so it's not surprising it hasn't been prioritized.
