It seems the fediverse is continuing and growing again. Line go up is probably good!

Total users are huge now.
There are many websites out there that pull data from the fediverse. So take that with a grain of salt. But anecdotally I am seeing a small rise in people using the various platforms as each get more mature and servers somewhat stabilize.
Fwiw, PieFed allows you to do all that from one account with its Topic Areas, which are user-customizable and shareable. See e.g. https://piefed.social/topic/arts-craft and https://piefed.social/topic/news.
Thanks, I'll look into that.
PieFed has a ton of features that Lemmy lacks. Like user and post flairs, polls, and those aforementioned user-customizable and shareable Topic Feeds. It's worth checking out, just to know what's available!
