You may notice a large drop in total post counts in the latest Pixelfed version, we have fixed the calculation to no longer include shared posts (which may have previously included remote shares).
The total posts count now properly reflects local posts and comments!

The new FediDB is much better.
You can more easily view data and graphs without leaving the page you're on.
Can't wait to ship this 
FediDB will soon become open source and self-hostable, and I look forward to contributions from our community as this has proven to be an essential resource.
I want to thank all of my supporters for giving me the ability to work on projects like these, I strive to do better and I think you guys will like the new FediDB.
A new FediDB era, with an open source fresh coat of paint, is soon upon us 
Uhh....anyone know what's up with #fedidb ?
Like this is clearly incorrect data. There is a massive gap tanking the statistics.
#mastodon #fediverse
FediDB respecting robots.txt has resulted in appr. 2M Fediverse accounts no longer being counted.
Prior to this change, #FediDB counted 12,923,233 accounts. Now it counts 10,868,233 accounts.
Now let me be blunt: respecting robots.txt is a good thing. But now when we look at #Fediverse accounts, it must clearly be seen with the acknowledgement that these only count services that haven’t opted out of tracking.
So when people compare user counts of #Bluesky vs. the Fediverse, remember that Bluesky has the luxury of a more complete count because they host all accounts there. In contrast, the Fediverse is actually decentralized, and a good many services simply do not want to be tracked – and are therefore not counted.
#FediDB respecting robots.txt has really changed how stats are tabulated.
Prior to this change, there were 997 #Pleroma servers that were counted. Now the count has been reduced to 582.
With #WordPress, the difference is more stark. Prior to the change, there was over 9,000 WordPress servers counted. Now the count is at 3,578 servers.
To be sure, I’m not complaining – privacy is important. But it is to say that #ActivityPub user counts should have a big asterisk: many servers have opted out of being crawled. This means they are not being counted.
FediDB says there are 12,923,059 accounts across the #Fediverse. But this is actually drastically higher.
Hello Everyone,
After having a lot messages from people yesterday about why we should not have a block system we are going to refactoring our reports system into a more positive system into the future.
Instead of reporting a negative thing someone has done we might instead add a positive someone done instead.
This will help make the Fediverse more positive instead of negative.

So even know the project is new I've created a @Fedicate@mastodon.social account.
I will be posting updates in both places but think I should do something very basic with the account such as each follower will be added to Fedicate (currently manually)
#Fedicate #FediverseDatabase #Database #Fedi #Fediverse #FediDB #FediDatabase #FediverseDB
I've been hard at work making the users section look that little bit more pleasing for Fedicate.
I will be looking further into automating the process to update minor things such as profile pictures and other things on the database but for now the manual way is plenty fine.
Thank you for everyone that has submitted Instances & Software that should be added to Fedicate. Keep up the good work and if you haven't already check it out on https://fedicate.org

FediDB Community Advisor, a new service we're building for fedi admins to subscribe to moderation advisories from other server admins.
We're building this into Pixelfed and Loops, but any fediverse software will be able to use this!
We use a clever combination of double blind lookups and http signatures, using a pubsub feed.
More details soon.
Fedi Devs can send an email to hello at pixelfed dot org for early access.
I appreciate all the support, and just wanted to remind you all that I've been preparing for this moment for years.
I tend to excel under stressful conditions, while maintaining a healthy balance by taking every other night off from coding.
I won't waste this opportunity, and remain focused on @pixelfed during this historic moment!
Admins, users and even press are free to mention me, I'm here to serve you!
Remember that
