I don't even use Pixelfed, but its growth is kind of interesting to me:

• its recent rise
  
• its subsequent plateau
  
• its (expected) ebbing
  

The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)

Furthermore, it's also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it's not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in -- looks like brand-new active participants.

Any idea what caused this? Another "migrate" campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?

It's really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

Aren't they both pulling the same activitypub data?

only in theory

Pixelfed doesn't use groups/communities, so Lemmy cannot access their content since Lemmy can't follow users

(maybe you were thinking of PieFed? that's a different platform with a similar name lol)

I don't know about you, but I've been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I'm concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Maybe because Meta is going to use your photos and all the other shit you post to train their AI models.

I think they started doing this 2 days ago, it was in the news, here in Europe at least.

Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.

I just tried and PieFed cannot access PixelFed posts. Mbin can do it.

Personally I don't mind the separation between some platforms, I'm fine with having 2 accounts. The UX is designed to work with the style of content anyways. But I know a lot of people want everything to work with everything.

Is it possible that because pixelfed is more like microblogs with focus on photos mbin can access them? Because mbin always has microblogs support.
