@fediversecounter any idea what makes up the blue (fedoverse) spike at the end of this chart? Scrolling back looks like it's been in those higher numbers for over 6 days.

To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever grateful for. We still have a large funding need for 2026, so please consider making a donation before the year-end if you’d like us to continue building and improving Mastodon https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#donate
