Up, up and away.
This data was crawled before the Twitter X announcement.
Let's see in a few days where we are.

Mastodon has hit 2 million active users 🙌🏼 #SocialMedia #Success #Mastodon #ActiveUsers #SocialMediaSuccess

Active users looks in a steady state now, to me this is the really interesting number - is anyone auto-publishing #activeUsers from the-federation.info ?

eicker.news #technews »The #Mastodon Bump Is Now a Slump: #Activeusers have fallen by more than 1 million since the exodus from #ElonMusk’s #Twitter, suggesting the decentralized platform is not a direct replacement.« https://www.wired.com/story/the-mastodon-bump-is-now-a-slump/

@doggojones Indeed, the IMHO most important metric for the #fediverse is monthly #activeusers. That's why this metric is in the overview, too.

Now, there are 2.6m monthly active users, which is more than five times higher than 1 year ago (554% growth).

BTW: The highest # of active monthly users so far was 3.8m on Dec 23, 2022. This was after the last big influx from Twitter. This means many stayed active, but also over a million did not become permanent users.

@mastodonmigration @Gargron
Add me to the "never logged out" list. I wondered about this, but was too shy to ask publicly.
#activeusers

Several stories lately about how Mastodon active users count is down. Yesterday Eugen Rochko @Gargron stated:

"Mastodon bumps up the active user count when a user logs on, including right after sign up. I’m not surprised the monthly active user number is coming down a bit..."

This raises a question. Are active users ONLY bumped when a user logs on? Many users, perhaps most, do not ever log out, they simply just stay logged in. Are we undercounting active users?

In the last month, the number of monthly #activeusers on #Mastodon has rocketed more than threefold, from about 1 million to 3.5 million, while total number of users jumped from about 6.5 million to 8.7 million. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1900717

@crossgolf_rebel Als aktive User werden derzeit 1 Million genannt.

From Cointelegraph.com: Ethereum's top 10 DApps hit 1M users this month https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-s-top-10-dapps-hit-1m-users-this-month #Activeusers #Coinmetrics #Glassnodes #Dappradar #Ethereum #DApps #News #DeFi #Dex

@VictorVenema You are right. The growth of the Fediverse does not outweigh the number of users becoming inactive/dormant. Thus, the number of active users is stagnant and even decreases:

Change of "active 6 months" in the last year:
#Fediverse: 1.36Mio -> 1.21Mio
#Mastodon: 1.25Mio -> 1.09Mio
#diaspora: 87250 -> 69018
#Pixelfed: 9647 -> 12563

In other words, the #Fediverse needs to substantially grow faster in order to also grow in terms of actually active users.
