pevohr,

To get a feel for how "sticky" all these newer social networks are, it's worth calculating #MAU/total ratios:

Mastodon 1.2M/7.5M = 16.5%
Cohost 12K/130K = 9.2%
Lemmy 32K/182K = 17.4%
KBin 39.6K/40K = 98.9% (?!)

Or for specific sites:

mastodon.social 218K/1.2M = 16.5%
mas.to 24.5K/160K = 15.3%
fosstodon.org 15.5K/58.9K = 26.4%
hachyderm.io 14.7K/47.7K = 30.8%
merveilles.town 354/631 = 56.1%

@pevohr might be cool to get these stats of "stickiness" integrated into @dansup's fedidb

pevohr,

@thisismissem Perhaps. TBH, I'm not sure how reliable the raw data is.
@dansup seems to be working hard to prune out clearly spammy datapoints as he finds them, which is why his totals aren't as inflated as you'll see elsewhere.

But there are still outliers like the sudden spike in MAU stats for Kbin.

Also, second-order stats like my ratio are heavily influenced by how new a site is. To truly measure stickyness we'd need proper #CohortAnalysis ...

pevohr,

For services like #bluesky + #T2 that are still in the "invite-only" stage, MAU stats are harder to come by. For now, all you can go off are total user counts (which they're steadily ramping up) + an overall "we're all new here" vibe:

t2.social ~5.5K
bsky.app ~137.6K

pevohr,

Both of these newer networks are in heavy development, so they obviously don't have anything like the breadth of features we're used to here.

But if you want to get a feel for which UX features each team felt it was important to implement first -- especially ones not available here -- I have a few invites to share:

t2.social 6̶ 5
bsky.app 1̶ 0

If you're interested, hit me up.

ivsantangelo,

@pevohr eh... Hi! I want to try out ... Please. Thanks in advance. 🤗👋🏻♥️
