Misskey overtaking Mastodon?

Last month, fedidb.org observed Misskey's flagship instance report 3.9M new monthly posts, more than double the 1.7M that Mastodon's flagship instance.

Is this a growing trend, or could Misskey growth be due to spam?

@dansup it's interesting how misskey is pretty huge in Japan.

@dansup Once accessibility with #Calckey isfixed up and all, saidfork of #Misskey will take over I’m sure.

Onething I would love to see the #Fediverse embrace more of, is ‘Groups!’
It don’t matter where they’re from, nor which platform they’re on.

@dansup Japanese users tweeted a LOT. And they are now coming to the Fediverse. I checked their public timeline, it's hardly to see spam but real human posting like crazy.

@dansup something is off in either the data or the graphs. If you look at mastodon.social user growth graph. It reports almost the same growth for the month of June as the past may. While only one day and half has passed on June. Elsewhere many graphs just miss the month of may and jump straight to June.

@dansup There is a lot of people in Japan that uses Twitter and many of them are migrating to Misskey, also spam bots, but i'm pretty sure that number is specially made by human posts

@dansup But it's just one popular instance, no? Not sure that I'm fond of the new posts count as a raw metric of growth, either. You're probably right on the money with the spam theory.

:freedo: :supertuxkart:

@dansup I believe it's not spam.

Due to nature of Misskey users being creative with their post using Misskey-flavored Markdown, Misskey users are getting more creative with their post.

Western instance generally filled with people talking about politics, social problem, etc. But Japanese instance, especially Misskey.io, is basically people doing creative things. Public feed is filled with fanart, poems, cool photograph of anime plushie, sharing indie games. Also :blobcatpats:
