Tim Chambers May 25, 2023

This seems very important and worth ongoing study:

“Once again, results suggest a rise in diversity as the 10 biggest server contribution to the Fediverse is reduced by more than 10%. So, even if the biggest servers are accumulating more users, it seems that the Fediverse is becoming more decentralized.”

Analysis of Fediverse Diversity in terms of Decentralization

Hello! Following a previous analysis (!it’s in catalan language!) and recovering the interest on the Fediverse, I’ve extended my analysis focusing in software diversity in that case. The two time points analyzed are from September 2022 and May 2023. In the initial analysis above there is a mistake. The dataset used is obtained using script based on this code written by @spla. Before getting into the analysis itself, I want to state that the active users measure is somehow confusing. Some ser...

@tchambers @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediversenews Interesting! Although there are some quirks in the data, with joindiaspora and diasp.org (neither of which are Mastodon) in last March's accounts and not the current list, and with mastodon.cloud and gc2.jp going from over 10% of MAU to not appearing at all in the latest statistics.

Also, it'd be nice to know something about what comprises all the "others", how many accounts do those instances have, how many of them are there?

Otherwise, it'll be interesting to track this going forward because mastodon.social right now is growing faster than it did between March and 17 May ... the picture could very well look different when comparing May to August.

>Also, it’d be nice to know something about what comprises all the “others”, how many accounts do those instances have, how many of them are there?

Others means all the rest! Which means 21089 in May (as shown in the first table).

>Otherwise, it’ll be interesting to track this going forward because mastodon.social right now is growing faster than it did between March and 17 May … the picture could very well look different when comparing May to August.

Totally true! I would like to take monthly pictures (with the help of @spla, which is the author of the API query script).

Any chance others can get their hands on the data set?

maegul May 26, 2023

@[email protected] @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @[email protected] @spreadmastodon @spla also, another question … any insights on your your data set and its creation would differ from any of the others out there like fedidb or instances.social?

spla May 26, 2023

@maegul I get the dataset from all peers of my server and then from all peers of my server's peers. After collecting all those peers, my code get the nodeinfo URL of all of them and ask it for users and MAU data, so only *alive* servers data is saved to the dataset.
Here is the code https://git.mastodont.cat/spla/stats

marcelcosta May 26, 2023

@spla @maegul @fediverse @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @fediversenews @spreadmastodon Wow, I found a huge mistake in my analysis!

The first time point it's not from March but from September! I am a bit embarrassed, but this is what happens when you rush because of time (and also, chaos in date format).

In fact, this makes more sense and is also interesting because it seems that some months after big October wave, it seems that Fediverse is more decentralized.

maegul May 26, 2023

@[email protected] @spla @fediverse @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @[email protected] @spreadmastodon

I've got the impression that it was somewhat necessary that mastodon be more decentralised in order to take on all the new users as the larger instances, or some of them, struggled. mastodon.social, for example, didn't really gain more users from Jan to March, IIRC.

marcelcosta May 26, 2023

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla @fediverse @fediversenews @spreadmastodon Sure, these waves have overloaded even not-that-big instances, causing them to close registration for a time. From September, the number of servers has increased by 3.

If we had a historical of the server picture, would be really interesting to trace the movements and evolution of the Fediverse…

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)May 26, 2023

@jdp23 @maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediverse @spla @fediversenews That is interesting! There are snapshots from prior to Octobers wave and also from October, November, December, etc… So we can monitor what happened with that wave, what was the dynamics of users.

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)

Yes! Even though the data's noisy and incomplete there are clear differences in dynamics in different time periods. For example (I think, if I did the math right)

9/20/2022 to 12/7/2022: mastodon.social + 71K
mastdn.social +80K

12/7/2022 to 3/25/2023:
mastodon.social +115K
mstdn.social +41K

3/25/2023 - 5/1/2023:
mastodon.social +91K
mastn.social +3.6K.

An update on this: @spla's been archiving statistics for the last week at https://git.mastodont.cat/spla/stats/src/branch/main/dataset and the trend continues:

mastodon.social: +13K
mstdn.social: +400

It'll be interesting to see what effect the reddit influx has has on overall fediverse software and instance size diversity.

@jdp23 @[email protected] @spla @tchambers @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediverse @[email protected]

So that's ~5.5x quicker growth per existing user (~30x quicker in absolute terms) between mastodon.social and the next largest english speaking mastodon instance, where mastodon.social is already ~5.5x larger.

Anyone want to nominate a numerical threshold beyond which it's unquestionably a problem of some sort?

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 7, 2023

@maegul well if nobody else wants to I'll take a crack at it. If mastodon.social is growing more per-existing-user than other largeish sites (so a ratio of > 1.0) I would say it's unquestionably increasing centralization.

To me ratios like last fall -- where some other largish sites were increasing faster than .social not only per-existing-user but in absolute terms -- would be healthy at this point

@tchambers @fediversereport @spla @fediverse @fediversenews @spreadmastodon @marcelcosta

maegul Jun 7, 2023

@jdp23 @tchambers @fediversereport @spla @fediverse @[email protected] @spreadmastodon @[email protected]

Makes sense. Interestingly, we are well past that and unlikely to return without some drastic change (like the default instance situation changing).

Tim Chambers Jun 7, 2023

@maegul @jdp23 @marcelcosta @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediverse @fediversenews

I think the point of @spla work was: big servers are growing dramatically, but the whole Fedi is getting more decentralized FASTER… if that is still true, then I don’t see a centralizing problem at this point.

marcelcosta Jun 7, 2023

@tchambers @maegul @jdp23 @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediverse @fediversenews @spla That were my conclusions, yes!

Talking about instances, because at the software level there has been a big centralization.

maegul Jun 7, 2023

@[email protected] @tchambers @jdp23 @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @fediverse @[email protected] @spla

Wasn't the cutoff date for your analysis early enough such that the recent growth of mastodon.social due to being the default instance may have been missed?

marcelcosta Jun 7, 2023

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla @fediverse @fediversenews @spreadmastodon Sure, but I would like to wait a bit more to understand the trend.

I thought that mastodon.social visibility in media would have centralized the fediverse in October wave and after some months the result was the opposite! So, I would advice for some perspective.

maegul Jun 7, 2023

@[email protected] @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla @fediverse @[email protected] @spreadmastodon

I don't know, but I was under the impression that during early or middle parts of the migration wave mastodon.social wasn't ready to scale up so much and so the load had to be spread out.

Now they've built an ability to scale as needed: AFAIU, mastodon.social runs on kubernetes now. I'd imagine the only limitation on their ability to scale relatively quickly is their finances, and I don't know if anyone knows anything about that. Though, I would imagine being in even greater demand would only provide more opportunities to get more funding.

marcelcosta Jun 7, 2023

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla @fediverse @fediversenews @spreadmastodon That makes sense! I recently analyzed last splaDS entries and that would be the trend, although macro variation was minimal.

I'll publish the analysis as soon as I have time.

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 7, 2023

@marcelcosta looking forward to it!

@tchambers Marcel's original numbers from showed significant decentralization since last September but from the info in the archive.org snapshots it seems to me like there was a big decentralization was last fall (when as @maegul says .social closed regs for a while) and at least the US/Western European Mastodon world has been re-centralizing since late March

@fediversereport @spla @fediversenews @spreadmastodon

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 7, 2023

Looking at @spla's data for the week between 5/28 and 6/4, the changes in users are

Total Mastodon users: +93K
pravda.me: +57K
.social: +13K
pawoo: +3K
everything else: +20K

which has .social capturing at least 40% of the non-Russian/non-Japanese new users. That's a lot!

@jdp23 @tchambers @maegul @fediversereport @spla @fediversenews @spreadmastodon

Hi! I’ve found the time to analyze a bit more data from spla’s dataset.

First, the absolute number of accounts by software (with mastodon, left, or without mastodon, right).

And then the distribution as a % of the known fediverse (again with and without mastodon).

It is very clear the entry of kbin and growth of lemmy, also. Particularly in the MAU measure.

Tim Chambers Jun 18, 2023

@marcelcosta @jdp23 @maegul @fediversereport @spla @fediversenews @spreadmastodon

Thank you!

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 18, 2023

@marcelcosta Very interesting! When the Threadiverse stuff started to ramp up I was very glad that @spla was capturing the data on a daily basis.

Do we know how MAU are counted on kbin and Lemmy ... in particular if somebody up/downvotes do they get counted as active?

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport

marcelcosta Jun 18, 2023

@jdp23 @spla @maegul @tchambers @fediversereport That’s a good question! Maybe spla knows it… :)

But remember that we are measuring active accounts, so if some account is interacting by voting, its an active account for sure!

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 18, 2023

@marcelcosta I'm looking at the numbers on https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy and lemmy.world has 30,000 new users in the last week but only 8,600 MAU, I am curious how far the other 70% of signups got.

marcelcosta Jun 18, 2023

@jdp23 @maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @spla Interesting, so we might be underestimating the lemmy growth...

maegul Jun 18, 2023

@[email protected] @jdp23 @tchambers @fediversereport @spla

I've read a lemmy dev define active user as someone who's made at least one post. So yes, there would almost certainly be many users who are "lurkers" and only read and maybe up\down vote. In fact, the MAU / User ratio might be pretty good?

What defines "active" for other platforms?

maegul Jun 18, 2023

@[email protected] @jdp23 @tchambers @fediversereport @spla

I think I'd always presumed "active" meant that they had actually signed in at least one in the time window but not necessarily done anything.

marcelcosta Jun 18, 2023

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla I think in mastodon and pleroma are accounts that signed out.

MAU/users is an interesting measure, although some servers reach higher than 100%, as I commented in the socialjub post.

maegul Jun 18, 2023

@[email protected] @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla

MAU/users is an interesting measure, although some servers reach higher than 100%, as I commented in the socialjub post.Yes, but if lemmy's measure is more a measure of "posting" users and other platforms are more "at least reading" users, then the MAU/User ratio for lemmy is an entirely different thing, and arguably pretty good right now (??).

Don't know about kbin though ... I've heard someone say that their MAU numbers can't be trusted as they're doing something not quite right.

Tim Chambers Jun 18, 2023

@maegul @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla @marcelcosta

In the social media space in general, analytics researchers consider an active user one who logs in at least once, even if they don't post, or engage on anything.

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Jun 18, 2023

@tchambers If that's Lemmy's MAU definition then 70%+ of the people who created accounts on lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, and lemmynsfw (all new sites in the last month) didn't even manage to log in ... if so, well, that certainly points to an area for improvement! My guess though is that it might well be a measurement artifact.

Dug up the statement (from nutomic): https://lemmy.ml/comment/500254

marcelcosta Jun 21, 2023

@maegul @tchambers @fediversereport @jdp23 @spla It seems that maybe user count on lemmy is misscalculated:

threadcount (@[email protected])

Pausing this bot for a while. There's a very large number of new Lemmy instances with a few active users, but thousands of registered accounts (seemingly spam). Total user counts should be considered inaccurate until this spam account issue is fixed! You can learn more about this here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2355 (but please don't spam the Lemmy developers with requests to fix this; they're aware and have a lot on their plates).

@jdp23 @fediversenews @fediversereport @maegul @spla @spreadmastodon @tchambers

And another set of plots, trying to understand server typology (in the sense of size) by software an diversity.

First, a barplot showing the mean of accounts or MAU per server by software (axis in logarithmics to resolve better the differences!).

Second plot with the same information in Y axis but adding X axis with the total ammount of accounts. In this case analysis only for MAU.

We can see that Kbin and brighteon have the bigest mean servers, or that calckey, akkoma or pleroma have smaller mean server than mastodon.

Next, I have applied the diversity indexes Shannon (evenness) and Simpson (diversity) to server, account and active account distribution by software.

The first we can see that diversity has a small trend to increase, with a clear acceleration in MAU (probably due to kbin and lemmy increase in active accounts).

The latter plot measures these indexes within each software. Interestingly, the software with higher diversity in active users is owncast! Which makes sense as they are single user servers…

Another interesting observation is that mastodons diversity is similar (slightly higher) than calckey and akkoma, and clearly higher than pleroma.

Finally, is interesting to see that while lemmy is increasing its diversity, kbin is decreasing it! My hypothesis is that the first is growing and distributing on more new servers, while the latter is growing on one or few servers.

marcelcosta Jun 19, 2023

@fediversenews @fediversereport @jdp23 @maegul @spla @spreadmastodon @tchambers I’ll add three more plots addressing the instance distribution this time.

First, a plot showing distribution as percentage stratifying by the top 10 servers in accounts (the rest are grouped in “Others” category).

Second, I have plotted an ordered list of servers (in X axis) and their number of accounts. In theory, the bigger the area below the curve the more distributed the Fediverse. I’m exploring this visualization, so what do you think?

Finally, I have applied the Shannon (evenness) and Simpson (diversity) indexes to server distribution by time. There is some dynamics! Although take into account that scales are pretty small, so lets not overestimate minor differences :).

There is a peak around 6th of June which seems due to a loss of contact with pravda.me, which is regained next day. So this might be an technical artifact.

marcelcosta Jun 19, 2023

@tchambers @maegul @jdp23 @fediversereport @spreadmastodon @spla @fediversenews May be! Although my intention is not to categorize each server but analyze them as a whole.

Also: onboarding flow for the new Mastodon 4.2 beta vastly improved… so will be curious if sites with that show improved rates of sign ups or retention. Mastodon.social was one…

marcelcosta Aug 26, 2023

@tchambers @jdp23 @maegul @fediversereport @fediverse @spla @fediversenews

Its curious how they all show a similar pattern (I have included a smaller one from Catalonia). I have to be sure is not an artifact, but it seams that there was increase starting July that is reflected in the active users.

Another observation is that statuses accumulation (is not by month) seems quite linear.

Jon (now at neuromatch.social)Aug 26, 2023

@marcelcosta
@maegul The jump in active users in early July was when Xitter rate-limited. @victor mentioned similar dynanics on tooters.org

@tchambers it'll be interesting to see what effect the onboarding change have. Do you know when .social started deployed the new onboarding flow?

@fediversereport @fediverse @spla @fediversenews

maegul Aug 29, 2023

@[email protected] @tchambers @jdp23 @fediversereport @fediverse @spla @[email protected]

I’d guess that the similar pattern across instances is a subtle but important phenomenon … it suggests that mastodon.social isn’t a categorically better onboarding service just one that sucks up more of the incoming traffic.

Otherwise, a rough look at the numbers shows mastodon.social was taking ~90% of all new users. Of that continues over time it won’t be too long before it’s on its way to bring half of mastodon, presuming future user growth of course!

On which, those MAU graphs are striking. Didn’t realise they fell back down to near base level after the spike. I suppose the rate limit problem resolved itself and those users were mostly bored. Mastodon could maybe do with a more active definition of active user like lemmy’s to discount the bored lurkers … it might be a more stable metric.

Jon Aug 29, 2023

Yep, it's always been the case that most people who check out Mastodon don't stick around. But it's not just Mastodon, the same's true for other social networks. I was just looking at Twitter numbers from back in 2013; only 23% of the people who had signed up for accounts were still active, and most of the active users hadn't tweeted in the last month. Mastodon's numbers on fedidb are somewhat lower (around 17.5%, although that doesn't take servers that no longer exist into account), but certainly in the ballpark. Some long-running instances have much higher retention -- chaos.social and kind.social are over 50%, tech.lgbt and tech.lgbt are both over 30% -- but then again they don't have open registration.

mastodon.social's about average in terms what percentage of signups stick around ... it'll be interesting to see what affect the new onboarding has, although it'll take a while for that to be show up in the publicly visible statistics.

@markmalowany @jdp23 @tchambers @jdp23 @spla @fediverse @fediversenews @fediversereport @maegul I would say that is quite “normal” that the retention for a new social tool is low when people is trying it without its friends. Without saying that there aren’t things to improve (both technical and social), social tools are in a tight competition for users attention and time. So I am not surprised that new social tools are not stimuli enough without acquaintances or famous.

@tchambers and I are talking about centralization again at https://indieweb.social/@tchambers/111631543303868122

Tim's data shows that there isn't any sign of .social hurting traffic to other instances over the last year.

My is in terms of monthly active users, .social has gone from about 17.5% of Mastodon's total MAU in May to 27% today.

@marcelcosta it would be great to update the centralization analyses, both for Mastodon and the fedierse as a whole!

Good news is that it turns out this did not occur - at least over the last year, show any signs of mastodon social hurting the traffic to other smaller mastodon sites Everyone hummed along.

Thanks Jon: This was all quick back of the napkin analysis using Simliarweb for Mastodon.social and 4 other Mastodon servers over 12 months. Not extensive but a quick sample test to get a general vibe of things.

@jdp23 @tchambers @maegul @fediversereport @spla @fediverse @fediversenews Ey! I have read the conversation, it’s clear that there are several diferent visions of what the Fediverse should be :).

I will go back to the analysis once I have time during the Xmas holidays!
