While it's impossible to get an accurate user count across the fediverse due to several factors like spam signups, downtime and inflated metrics, it is possible to filter out inaccurate results using std dev and other metrics.

https://fedidb.org aims to be the most accurate source of fediverse network statistics and data, and I think we're on the right path! #fediDB

@dansup Calckey isn't big enough to show up on the list. Unless it gets counted in with Misskey. Oh well, I like it
@Wolleysegap @dansup on the site there is a separate count for kinkey if you go into the software section
@dansup It looks like the instance image for phpc.social has a permissions issue. Is this on our side? https://fedidb.org/network/instance/phpc.social

@dansup I love your frontend design for this site. It’s clean yet detail packed.
@dansup I assume by Mastodon and Misskey, this bundles the forks as the same thing? I am just curious is all.
@dansup I think the only way to improve the shares of other fediverse softwares is to elevate the UI to make people feel pleasant to use.
@dansup Sad to see such monopoly.. It's always dangerous...
@dansup Why is there a so high gap between total users showed in the first line and total users for june showed in the fediverse growth graph ? Aren't both numbers supposed to be close?
@dansup I think lemmy is going to take off pretty soon with all the reddit crap.
