    It the number of active users stays the same, that could just mean that

    • people are changing instances
    • some instances shut down
    • some farmbots were open

      My theory is that there is quite a few servers that are chosing to defederate. The number of total servers continues to drop according to fedidb.

      So while total users go up, the global federation is staying around the same. There’s quite a few servers that don’t want to be connected to everyone else.

        I’m not seeing that trend. There are people who don’t want to federate. But they usually choose different software. Like Flarum or Discourse instead of Lemmy. And I think the statistics pages pull the user numbers directly from the instances(?) so a more defederated instance might show up in the statistics anyways.

        Or admins are just finding it not worth bothering with administering their own server and turning them off.
