Hmmm, fedidb says "total users: +93K since last month", "total monthly active users: +68K since last month". That's not that much, but not too shabby either.
Looks like the growth is more attributed to pixelfed

Pixelfed is having its moment in the spotlight - on the Apple app store it's currently getting more downloads than Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram.
Of course, it's helped along by the fact that people don't have it installed already. But still fun to se the Fediverse represented in the list of popular apps. I think similar things are happening on Android in many countries.
Wow, that's great. Hopefully the servers can stand the load!
