I'm glad to see this and it will be interesting to see the trends in a week or two when presumably some of the "Reddit fire" dies down a bit.

Personally I've been pretty happy using Kbin as a substitute, and I contribute a little more than I usually would in the hopes of attracting more mass to the Fediverse, like some kind of Federated gravity.

I think it'll also be interesting to see in several years. old.reddit.com and mobile web reddit might be killed off by then, resulting in another spike in migrations. And there might be enough content in the threadiverse by then for it to possibly enter its own golden age like the bacon narwhal age of reddit back in the day.

Although in this optimistic future I'm worried that search engines will be much worse, with a completely closed off Reddit (like e.g. Facebook groups) and a fragmented anti-crawler threadiverse (like the fediverse now).

The text (don't really know what it's called) when clicking somewhere on the total posts line in the graph also says "Total Users" instead of posts
