The graphs show, BTW, that between April 2025 and and December 2025 the number of Lemmy users who have been active in the past month has moved from 54 000 to 35 000 and that the number of PieFed users who have been active in the past month has moved from 400 to 1700. (And for Mbin: 900 to 700).
Let’s make sure the combined number of these three will be at least 60 000 next year this time!
I was gonna say, without any Y-axes, these graphs mean nothing
I too enjoy interpreting noise and then publishing on it.
I’d like both raising 🤷♂️
hey i know this question is asked everywhere and often but im still not clear in my understanding.
as a Lemmy user, by way of Voyager app, am I getting all piefed content already? I understand piefed may have some richer features.
You are not getting access to all of Piefeds tools, but you are seeing content from Piefed communities.
except polls which are not available in Lemmy yet.
This is petty and stupid
Lemmy MAU 34,8k
Piefed MAU 1,7k
Yeah keep dreaming LOL
It’s also interesting to note that Lemmy servers went offline during that time. How much of the userbase slump is that responsible for?
Its also of note that not all lemmy or piefed servers are on that site. Lemmynsfw last time I checked, wasn’t on there - for instance.
We used to have a combined tracker for Kbin+Lemmy (the “threadiverse”) back a few years ago. Is there something similar these days for Lemmy+Piefed+Mbin? That would be the really interesting number.
I wish this enmity didn’t exist.
It’s in nobody’s interests, really.
Yeah, I’ve got very good reasons why I prefer PieFed over Lemmy, but a bigger Fediverse is a better thing, so Lemmy is definitely not a bad thing. It’s just can be argued to be less good than PieFed.But still, good is good, even if something better exists.
I don’t think PieFed’s developers are developing it in order to damage Lemmy. I believe it’s developed simply because the developers believe it’s a good project that should exist.
It’s going to damage the Fediverse as a whole if we launch some kind of a “browser war” between different Fediverse serverside softwares!
Agreed.
Ironically I think its only a VERY small amount of users that are talking like its a “us vs them” mentality for Lemmy/piefed. The devs seem cordial and the APIs are doing quite well.
Its not like conventional internet with walls around platforms. Its a town square full of posts originating from many different platforms and everyone gets to chose how they view and interact.

Absolutely!
But it is scary how easily a tiny minority can end up looking like the majority if it’s the only one that bothers voicing its thoughts! I used to be active on an F-website operated by the same company that operates “Threads”, and damn I had to write often that “come on, this thing was said by maybe four people, in a group of 15 000. It is very unlikely theirs is actually a very common way of thinking!”
Here people are maybe a little bit more able to understand this phenomenon, but we are human beings all the same. In other words, rather stupid. Therefore, I believe it’s good to always be afraid that all kind of cognitive biases are active in people’s heads, needing to be countered :)
Yes, that’s right.
There is a certain amount of competition but fundamentally we’re on the same team. If PieFed gains numbers at the expense of Lemmy that doesn’t really shift the dial in terms of the fediverse’s impact on society. I would much rather people from Reddit, etc joined PieFed.

True. And I didn’t want to start one with this meme. I’m sorry if I accidentally did.
I just saw that Lemmy’s active users are on a downward trend the last 12 months and PieFed is quite the opposite.
The y-axis matters, OP. This still means Lemmy has 20x as many monthly active users as PieFed. Both of which are quite small in the grand scheme of things.
I agree. But this is a meme community, so I had some fun with graphs no matter the Y.
No wonder I recognize so many usernames all the time.
