If they’re doing that, it means they’re counting unique IPs, which is a ridiculous metric. Even lemmy would have easily 10x the MAU with it.

I don’t think it’s healthy enough but certainly better than the mastodon ecosystem

The growth in 2025 has been staggering, ngl. And this is the kind of thing which converts from a trickle to a tsunami very quickly. It never happens with one shock.
