Is mastodon ,or the fediverse in general, growing? (lemmings.world)

Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

I have noticed a lot of new users. My small instance went from a little over 50 to 150 since the start of this year. Being added to join-lemmy probably helped with that. Circumstantial evidence, I know. But worth noting.

And this is your only comment. Congrats on setting up an instance.

EDIT: Apparently my instance hasn't been completely federated yet and I can't see all the comments yet.

Thanks @TORFdot0 for the response.

Oh, we've been around for 1,5 years. Just never been big enough to get on the join-lemmy.org page.

Thanks though!
