This is good growth for such a smaller lesser known fedi project that replaces Facebook.

I had a Friendica account like 10 years ago. Kinda sad to hear it's only 2.500 active users.

Requiring people to create an account just to see anything is a sure way to immediately drive off any potential new users.

Isn't that what you want for a Facebook replacement though?

I guess being able to browse public profiles and posts would be good, but if it's like Facebook then wouldn't most people be using their real names and posting about semi-personal IRL stuff?

You'd want that stuff to only show for your friends, and maybe friends of friends
