Notes:

• "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.
• *AU: * Active Users (D: Daily, W: Weekly, M: Monthly, HF: Half-Year). TU: Total Users
• ">30 MAU": Selection limited to instances with more than 30 MAU
• ">180 Days Active": Selection limited to instances active longer than 180 days

---

Remarks:

• Updated the formatting of the takeaways
• Changed activity comparison (Historical -> Last Week). I think it's more interesting now.

Retention (Piefed):

Notes:

• Returning from Absence (Change in MAU over day – Change in Total Users over day):
• No longer used accounts (users who changed which account they use or have left permanently) will cause a '-1' after 1-month (MAU) or 6-months (HYAU). Re-utilizing an account after an absence will cause a '+1'.
• 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).
• DAU/WAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a day per week basis. The higher the number the more Weekly Active Users are active in a given day.
• DAU/MAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a day per month basis. The higher the number the more Monthly Active Users are active in a given day.
• MAU/HYAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a month per half-year basis. The higher the number the more Half-Year Active Users are active in a given month.
• 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:

Notes:

• [1] % does not include single user servers.
• Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.
Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

Meta Analysis (Current)	Servers	Servers (Alive %, #)		Average Alive Server Age (Days)	Avg Users per Alive Server^1^		Single User Servers (% of Alive, (#))	Uniformity Method 1 (Lower Better)	Uniformity Method 2 (Higher Better)

• Sources: List of Instances - Fedilist, Analysis Code
• "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.

Notes:

1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed.
2. Mbin nodes do not provide Daily or Weekly stats.
3. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
4. 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).
5. I can now easily selectively identify servers running forks. If you see any servers that aren't identified as such, let me know.

Edit: Changes to formatting and calculation of activity (historical -> last week). Analysis is of a different day (+1 of original post).

MAU Peak (in last 7 Days):

• Snac (4675, All-Time Peak)
• NeoDB (1852, 6-Month Peak)
• Catodon (217, All-Time Peak)

---

Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days):

• Bookwyrm (7/7)
• NeoDB (6/7)
• Catodon (6/7)

---

Weekly Growth (>3%, >500 MAU):

• Pixelfed (+18.8%)
• Loops (+5.3%)
• Bookwyrm (+110.4%)
• Forgejo (+4.2%)

---

Note: Data is from 3 separate data sources and spliced together with 5-point calibration curves. Expect oddities.

---

Remarks:

• FediList isn't seeing the main Loops instance, so I had to manually add that.
• Thinking that through, I decided to switch the Threadiverse data from raw FediList data to my personal dataset (gathered from pinging each individual instance daily and updating my ping list with any additions found from FediList's server list). There isn't much of a difference (Lemmy loses ~4k MAU from an instance that doesn't really seem to exist, but is in the FediList dataset (crustaceanson.theshelf.top)).
• This should at least keep the Threadiverse data consistent (I don't personally ping the rest of the Fediverse, I would need a dedicated server for that and at that point I would just become another Fediverse-Observer/FediDB/FediIndex/FediList option, which is not my goal (I just want a quality dataset).

Remarks related to this post's data:

• It looks like Bookwrym's increase is mostly from bookwyrm.social (starting 2026-10-30). May be a spam wave, but slowed down very quickly (+3056, +855, +234, +122 each day).
• Looks like pixelfed.tokyo was hit by a spam wave (95 -> 49,998 MAU the next day (2026-10-26)).

• Source: [1] Fedilist with calibrated Fedindex covering 20261017 to 20261011 and calibrated Fediverse-Observer (dead) covering 20261010 to 20221130, [2] FediDB, Analysis Code

Notes:

1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [~555] activitypub enabled software.
2. 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).
3. 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).

Edit: fixed/removed a Mbin duplicate that caused a relatively large MAU decrease (150 MAU) in the MBin data.

MAU Peak (in last 7 Days):

• Snac (4675, All-Time Peak)
• Catodon (198, All-Time Peak)

---

Positive Daily Growth (6+ of last 7 Days):

• Catodon (6/7)

---

Weekly Growth (>3%, >500 MAU):

• NodeBB (+3.9%)
• Pixelfed (+17.0%)
• Friendica (+40.9%)

---

Note: Data is from 3 separate data sources and spliced together with 5-point calibration curves. Expect oddities.

---

Remarks:

• After a >2 week hiatus, this post is back! Let me know if you see any issues.
• I do see the -127.1% Forgejo value. Calibration curves for parallel datasets aren't used, if they don't have to be, for a reason. I'm considering implementing currently I've implemented solutions.
• I did just delete the last week of data for NodeBB and Vernissage (annoying capitalization bug, now fixed). My backup was a week old, so have to do some work to rebuild that data. So, that'll probably be my next item to tackle :(
• Since Fediverse-Observers graphs are no more, I was thinking of building out graphs for these posts. Alternatively, I can spend the time trying to build out a different analysis (instance on-boarding effects). Let me know if you have a preference.

• Source: [1] Fedilist with calibrated Fedindex covering 20261017 to 20261011 and calibrated Fediverse-Observer (dead) covering 20261010 to 20221130, [2] FediDB, Analysis Code

Notes:

1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [17], not the other [~555] activitypub enabled software.
2. 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).
3. 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).

Edit: Partly done altering the calibrations to be more accurate. Going to add another step that should help smooth out the calibrations more. Added and crossed out some wording.

Edit 2: Added a decay to the calibration curve. Should help reduce the oddities while still allowing for the calibration to smooth the transition between datasets.

Edit 3: Fixed missing data for NodeBB and Vernissage. Won't be updating this week's post with the data (code isn't set up to specify a start date, so rerunning it has the data and analysis for today rather than 2 days ago.

Retention (Piefed):

Notes:

• Returning from Absence (Change in MAU over day – Change in Total Users over day):
• No longer used accounts (users who changed which account they use or have left permanently) will cause a '-1' after 1-month (MAU) or 6-months (HYAU). Re-utilizing an account after an absence will cause a '+1'.
• 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).
• DAU/WAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a day per week basis. The higher the number the more Weekly Active Users are active in a given day.
• DAU/MAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a day per month basis. The higher the number the more Monthly Active Users are active in a given day.
• MAU/HYAU: Roughly shows how ‘sticky’ the server is, on a month per half-year basis. The higher the number the more Half-Year Active Users are active in a given month.
• 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.

Piefed Activity

Note:

• 'C-H': Current - Historic
• 'Historical' rates are going to be biased toward being lower than current (fewer users before now/historically). '+' values indicate growth and/or more activity, '-' values shrinking and/or less active than historically.

Software Comparison:

Notes:

• [1] % does not include single user servers.
• Alive servers are responsive servers with > 0 MAU.

Uniformity Method 1: Relative MAU Standard Deviation (%)^1^ - More accurate representation of uniformity.
Uniformity Method 2: Median to Mean (>10 MAU, %) - More distribution-shape dependent and more variable with fewer data points.

Meta Analysis (Current)	Servers	Servers (Alive %, #)		Average Alive Server Age (Days)	Avg Users per Alive Server^1^		Single User Servers (% of Alive, (#))	Uniformity Method 1 (Lower Better)	Uniformity Method 2 (Higher Better)

• Sources: List of Instances - Fedilist, Analysis Code
• "*" in the Piefed server names denotes they are using the soft-fork Pylova. I'm going to count them as Piefed servers unless a hard schism occurs.

Notes:

1. Up to the top 20 most populated (MAU) instances are analyzed.
2. Mbin nodes do not provide Daily or Weekly stats.
3. Please let me know if you have any calculations you would like me to run.
4. 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).
5. I can now easily selectively identify servers running forks. If you see any servers that aren't identified as such, let me know.
