I don't even use Pixelfed, but its growth is kind of interesting to me:

• its recent rise
  
• its subsequent plateau
  
• its (expected) ebbing
  

The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)

Furthermore, it's also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it's not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in -- looks like brand-new active participants.

Any idea what caused this? Another "migrate" campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?

• First of all, a lot of the videos that have been linked to during the tournament will probably be removed sometime in a week or two. Don't know why they do this but they do. So take one last look, while you can!
• According to The Mainichi, the JSA's Yokozuna Deliberation Council unanimously recommended that Onosato be declared a Yokozuna. That is expected to be ratified on Wednesday.
• Here's a nice video story from NHK about internal refugees (kids) in Ukraine who are training in sumo
• finally, after the March tournament I posted some movie/show suggestions, some amateur sumo links, and some sumo-related exercises that you might want to check out.

Awright! See you next tournament!
