@neil
We run different sorts of blogs but...
As at today, most of my traffic comes from SEs and most of that from Google.
Masto is the SM platform that I'm most active on but the traffic I get from here is now virtually nothing. I get more traffic from Bluesky where I have less than a 3rd of the followers I have here. Engagement with my toots here which promote my writing is dwindling. Elsewhere, there's been a great response to my piece that was published last week. Here, its felt like 'meh'.

@Jaimieserotica @neil Mastodon doesn't send any referrer headers by default (it can be enabled after a recent release to enable it, but it is suggested only do it on bigger instances to help anonymise visitors)

@ben @neil
I'm not a techie, but I can say that I've been getting stats on traffic from Mastodon since I joined here at the beginning of last September. A few months ago I was getting somewhat more fedi traffic than I am now. I don't know what any of that means in the light of your comment, though.

@Jaimieserotica ahh, ok, a fall off of previous traffic will not be related to this, but more that, some of the unattributed traffic may also be coming from smaller Mastodon instances.
