I wonder if we can take the data in that site and see whether or not the fediverse has a “long tail.” Or if the mass migration has consolidated folks into a more traditional bell curve across servers.

The long tail is a concept that applies in a number of ways but I’m most familiar with it from the very very early days of SEO. The idea that the thing you’re interested in (in this case active users) are spread over so many tiny instances that they seem like a small part of the whole when in fact they make up the majority.
