PieFed user surge continues! đ

What is causing such sudden rapid growth?
A couple of successful Reddit posts. This last jump was from r/BuyFromEU.

Scalloped growth is normal for social media platforms. Donât panic when it dips
scalloped growth
Sounds tasty and cancerous at the same time.

I really love that youâre building a South African instance!
As much as the influx of Europeans to the fediverse is lovely to see, the European/North American bias here is really striking. Thatâs of course not a problem of too many Europeans, but rather not enough other people.
Thanks, itâs quite fun to setup and run an instance and helping the community grow.
Hopefully I can get a bunch of South African and Africans to join my instance.But anyone is welcome.

We need some new (a couple) of general-use instances to help direct this traffic! Piefed.social will help you and redirect traffic to you.
Iâm working on getting https://nord.pub online!(rebrand from experimental nord.red) Well, it is online but I wanted proper HA, Backups, and some curated Topics.
Hosted in the Nordics and committed to not being dependent on US tech. (using Hetzner Finland and BunnyCDN)

To the moon?
Numbers rocketing up like measles cases in MAGA country

Youâre going for a general use instance?

Yeah, general use with somewhat if a focus on the Nordics âmarketâ, but Iâm not planning on launching competing communities against anything existing.

Sure, but Iâm more thinking about increasing server spread across Piefed rather than specific communities as such.

Quokk.au is general use and international.

Multiple advertisement posts on DeGoogle, a canadian subreddit and BuyFromEu.
And Trump for threatening to invade Canada and Greenland.

Seems like a nice occasion for a reminder that this stuff is all made and run on a volunteer basis. There are many ways to contribute, but the easiest by far is by donating a little bit of money on a regular basis! Donât be deterred by feeling you have to give a lot - if a lot of people give a little thatâs much better. So give a little!
I use Liberapay, but patreon and ko-fi links are available under the âDonateâ menu entry at piefed.social. The average LiberaPay contributor gives less than a dollar per weekâwhich is awesome.
Alternatively, if youâre on another instance, consider giving a little bit to your instance to help keep it running! Itâs all running on love and goodwill, and it works precisely because people like you decide itâs worth contributing.
Itâs absolutely worth it to give to the Piefed project for how much effort these folks put in. If I were a developer Iâd contribute that way, too.

Wow this is great!!

Awesome. When youâre ready, go to https://nord.pub/admin/instance_chooser and fill in the form.

Yes, MAU is a bit misleading like that⊠Maybe 20% of them will stick around if weâre lucky.
