The following screenshot is a composite. The popups for the last two days are inserted top left and top right. I also copied the Y-axis description from left to right.
How to explain this growth?

Sighs ... the enthusiasm is appreciated, but reacting to the numbers like this without looking into what's going on is likely to lead to false conclusions.
In this case, I'm pretty sure fedidb is making a mistake and reading two separate endpoints of the kbin.social instance as separate instances when they're the same. As kbin.social has
~50kusers, this number is about that much too high. See the servers list for kbin here: https://fedidb.org/software/kbinI've messaged the admin of fedidb on mastodon about this and so they know. But at the moment it seems the admin is setting something up that looks like separate instances without being so.

Yup.
