Added 3 software to the report: Catodon, NodeBB, WriteFreely
All-Time MAU Peak (in last 7 Days): Catodon, NodeBB, Peertube
Positive Daily Growth (last 7/7 Days): NodeBB
Positive Daily Growth (last 6/7 Days): Writefreely
Weekly Growth (>10%, >500 MAU): NodeBB
Weekly Growth (5-10%, >500 MAU): Writefreely, Bookwyrm
Overall good week for the threadiverse (all 5 software gained MAU)
Incorrect Mastodon server list caused a jump in then out of 40k and later 280k MAU (already reported to Fediverse-Observer dev and data became accurate Thursday)
Without the Mastodon server list issue, the Fediverse would have a slightly positive overall week (+10k MAU, ~1%)

Tracker Comparison^[1,2]^:

Notes:

Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, Mbin, Catadon, and NodeBB. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [15], not the other [114] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and only tracks some of the software [67].
FediDB seems to use unclear math to get there counts and overestimate the MAU on most software (see previous post, if interested in learning more).

That's fair. I wasn't sure if I should add them or not.

There have been posts in the last week(s) about Catodon and NodeBB gain integration with the fediverse.

I'm not sure if they have completed the integration though or it's just in active development.

I've been seeing posts from activitypub.space(?) that I'm pretty sure is a NodeBB instance.

Given the low number of Catodon MAU, I'm not sure we'd notice them unless pointed out.

Edit: Catodon announcement post:

More NodeBB communities (very new, still quiet - give them a chance):
