Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
30k communities and 9M posts per day. I find the number of posts per day very hard to believe. Each community would have an average of 300 posts per day, and most communities are abandoned. Maybe it's the bot communities that repost all the Reddit posts that inflate the number so high.
If your math is right then yeah, that's crazy. Too sweepy to verify.

That's probably it. https://lemmit.online should give you some more stats
I think it is total posts. There is a monthly active users of about 40k. If only 10% posts and the rest are lurkers that's 4k.
Maybe comments are counted as posts too?
There are 16M comments per day according to the observer website.
What is Sharkey? A fork of Misskey, which I also don't know. I imagine Sharkey does much the same things as Lemmy? It is almost as large, and seems to have grown rather quickly.
Is there someone who can provide background for these?
And why is Mastodon so huge? Are they including Threads as a part of it?
No Sharkey/Misskey is more like Mastodon, but with more playful features like emoji reactions and animated text.
Threads is not included, but Mastodon had a lot more Twitter refugees.

Misskey and Sharkey are micro blogging platforms, more similar to Mastodon and Twitter rather than Lemmy.
Mastodon is much older than Lemmy. Not sure if they count Threads
Threads allegedly has 100's of millions of users, plus it's not even federated with Mastodon. There's no way that Threads users are counted in the Mastodon statistics
@Melatonin @CoderSupreme good questions!
I hadn't heard of Sharkey but I have [[Misskey]] filed under the same category as Mastodon: microblogging/blogging oriented. It comes from Japan and its community is Japanese-first last I checked. It's got several cool features that Mastodon lacks.
