    What?
    Isn’t this MastodonUserCount?
    That counts just Mastodon users?
    And the spike is because of Twitter rate limit?
    And why am I first to point this out?

      Its not just Mastodon’s user count, its all accounts on ActivityPub which include Mastodon but also Lemmy.

      So i think this huge spike is driven by both the twitter rate limit and reddit

        I’m pretty certain this is just mastodon users, the Lemmy and Kbin usercounts are quite tricky to track.

        This recent push of Masto users I believe were being attributed to musks rate limits and restriction of anonymous reading of tweets.

          Any movement into the fediverse is good for the fediverse, but if we want to talk about Lemmy/Kbin specifically, this might be a bit more relevant;
