PieFed user surge continues! 🚀
-
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.
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!!

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

Scalloped growth is normal for social media platforms. Don't panic when it dips
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!

Signed up! I still might stick to this account mainly, but a Nordic oriented Piefed instance is definitely appealing.

Yep we already have a bunch of good instances ready to go:
- https://quokk.au/ - southern hemisphere
- https://piefed.zip/ - uk
- https://feddit.online/ - usa
- https://piefed.ca/ - canada
- https://piefed.blahaj.zone/ - lgbqa
- https://piefed.europe.pub/ - europe
- https://pf.korako.me/ - japan
- https://nord.pub/ - norway
...and ~60 more which seem to be for personal or closed-group use but which could open their doors any time - https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

And a million more on the way!
The instance chooser thing is a great addition to PF to help get users distributed across instances.

still a win. i'd rather the people who like it and put in effort stay than be awash with people who aren't bringing much. the biggest is the more people who try it and decide to stay the more diversity of thought we'll get. the threadiverse has a very eurocentric bias (here being the sociological construct, US and Canada both contribute to eurocentricism). i don't presume this will be fixed in this bump, but it is an opportunity for us who are already here to listen to new voices

Me too, fellow BuyerFromEU!
Just didn't delete my Reddit yet. There's some subreddits I need there that don't have the equivalent here yet.
But the plan is to start using this as my primary, and only go there when I need those. -

If by "direct traffic" you mean to send them there, then I'd say we don't need that, and shouldn't want it. The whole reason federation works is because control is spread out. Giving one, or a few, instances control of most of the content and users is a horrible idea and begging for issues. Speaking of, if you're on lemmy.world, you should consider spreading elsewhere. At least don't send new people there.

PS. you can see the graph starting from Zero:
https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=2000Credit to @squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi for pointing out how.
Even if the graph not starting at zero could be misleading, a spike doubling the number of active user is still impressive.
-
It's an actual good increase but not starting the graph at zero is misleading. It didn't go from zero to the moon, it got from 1.5k to 3.5k, which is more than double, but not as exponential as the graph shows.
