Nah its basically stable. Green is monthly which fluctuates with seasons (more people in northern hemisphere and spend more time online in winter months). The blue line is yearly rolling average and the initial spike takes a long time to work though giving impression of gradual decline.
PieFed and Mbin are both different implementations of the ActivityPub Protocol just like Lemmy. Although I doubt this graph includes either of them, despite how many left Lemmy for Piefed when Lemm.ee went down.
I looked and PieFed adds another ~1600 monthly active users and Mbin a further ~700 to the mix. PieFed starts out its chart with single digit user counts and ends with three orders of magnitude growth, so definitely not flat at all, though stable over the last few months.
And yet the graph is going down…

People have started using Piefed insted of Lemmy, but I’m not sure we should throw away hope for the fediverse because of that.
Piefed is part of the Fediverse so surely it’s still a good thing overall?

I think Piefed has mostly been migrations from Lemmy (especially from lemm.ee), that’s why it had a big jump and then seems to have stabilised.
PieFed is also advertised often over in Reddit, like in r/RedditAlternatives.
It’s all or nothing baby! Let’s burn it down if something isn’t perfect from day one.
People will come in waves, some will share the same mindset and others will seek out more dopamine centric engagement.
