I sincerely doubt this is anywhere close to actual usage and pushing flawed metrics like this is going to do more harm than good.
Yesterday the Fediverse Observer list had a couple dozen instances with 20k+ users with no federated communities, single-digit subscriptions to local communities, single digit posts and comments by 1 or 2 accounts.
Yeah, I think active users per time period is probably the better metric, but that is also growing nicely:

(Though with ~40k obviously much lower)
Keep in mind, there's a known issue with bot registration spam so take total user count stat with a big chunk of salt:

Daily active users is a better measure:

Damn, I'm happy to see it moving so fast.
Any idea why I can't create a new post? It just spins forever the past 2 days.
It might depend what instance you signed up through/device you use. I was having troubles from desktop with lemmy.world, but they did some tech voodoo magic for the server it's hosted on so it's been mostly smooth all week. It's consistently worked pretty well from the jerboa app for me tho
A million of us, a million of us!
Man, this shit is growing really fast. I would be super interested to see daily active users
While this is good, I can't help but feel that the branding of the decentralised social media ecosystem is hurting the growth a little bit. The -verse suffix, imo, is just too tainted from all the cryptobro metaverse scams and really makes this seem like some crypto scam as opposed to an alternative to the current crumbling social media platforms.
Regardless, I hope this ecosystem does take off, as it does seem useful and interesting.
This shit grows fast lol
reddit is no more
Let's goooooooooo
