PieFed user surge continues! 🚀

What is causing such sudden rapid growth?
-
Multiple advertisement posts on DeGoogle, a canadian subreddit and BuyFromEu.
-
A couple of successful Reddit posts. This last jump was from r/BuyFromEU.

Scalloped growth is normal for social media platforms. Don't panic when it dips
scalloped growth
Sounds tasty and cancerous at the same time.

I really love that you're building a South African instance!
As much as the influx of Europeans to the fediverse is lovely to see, the European/North American bias here is really striking. That's of course not a problem of too many Europeans, but rather not enough other people.
Thanks, it's quite fun to setup and run an instance and helping the community grow.
Hopefully I can get a bunch of South African and Africans to join my instance.But anyone is welcome.

We need some new (a couple) of general-use instances to help direct this traffic! Piefed.social will help you and redirect traffic to you.
I'm working on getting https://nord.pub online!(rebrand from experimental nord.red) Well, it is online but I wanted proper HA, Backups, and some curated Topics.
Hosted in the Nordics and committed to not being dependent on US tech. (using Hetzner Finland and BunnyCDN)

You're going for a general use instance?
-
Yeah, general use with somewhat if a focus on the Nordics "market", but I'm not planning on launching competing communities against anything existing.

Sure, but I'm more thinking about increasing server spread across Piefed rather than specific communities as such.

Thats how I ended up here. Even deleted my reddit account.

Quokk.au is general use and international.

And Trump for threatening to invade Canada and Greenland.

Seems like a nice occasion for a reminder that this stuff is all made and run on a volunteer basis. There are many ways to contribute, but the easiest by far is by donating a little bit of money on a regular basis! Don't be deterred by feeling you have to give a lot - if a lot of people give a little that's much better. So give a little!
I use Liberapay, but patreon and ko-fi links are available under the "Donate" menu entry at piefed.social. The average LiberaPay contributor gives less than a dollar per week—which is awesome.
Alternatively, if you're on another instance, consider giving a little bit to your instance to help keep it running! It's all running on love and goodwill, and it works precisely because people like you decide it's worth contributing.
It's absolutely worth it to give to the Piefed project for how much effort these folks put in. If I were a developer I'd contribute that way, too.

Wow this is great!!

Awesome. When you're ready, go to https://nord.pub/admin/instance_chooser and fill in the form.

Yes, MAU is a bit misleading like that... Maybe 20% of them will stick around if we're lucky.

Welcome!

Amazing to see all the growth!
