Fedibird, a Mastodon fork I'm surprised they're counting separately.

I think fedibird is a hard fork, so I guess it makes sense to count it separately compared to a soft fork like glitch or chuckya

I'm more surprised why there aren't any misskey instances on the list. if fedibird is on there misskey should certainly be there

Some Misskey instances do not report their MAU numbers. Misskey total MAU is undercounted because of this, but, looking at Misskey instance stats I suppose, that it's 20 000 at most.
All Misskey forks (Firefish, Iceshrimp, Cherrypick, Foundkey, Meisskey, Sharkey), that are listed by FediDB make another 10 000 MAU.

Yea, that's the only one I don't recognize. My first thought was some rightwing shithole like yddrasil, but I'm pretty sure that's not their logo

Out of morbid curiosity, what are the other main rightwing shitholes of the fedi?

The big one on lemmy is exploding-heads but it's blocked by pretty much every instance

Exploding heads shut down awhile ago and moved to another platform not in the fediverse

Best news I've heard in a long time

For micro blogging in the fediverse, most of the instances running Pleroma are pretty bad. If it's running the Soapbox frontend, it's probably full of Nazis.

Another one is No Agenda Social, running on regular Mastodon.
