Something I enjoy about the fediverse is when you get these membership surges, because of the curated nature of your timeline, you don't really see it unless you go looking for it. This makes for a much more pleasant experience, and one the other places can't replicate. The lack of manipulated trends helps, too.

One morning in 2015 I met what was known as the "free sheep" - a couple of sheep that would regularly appear in the fields near my parents' home. No one knew where they came from or managed to catch them.
A year later, after a very tough winter, they had a lamb and all 3 would roam together.
Before the next winter an animal sanctuary was called and eventually they did manage to catch and rehome the family.
I still feel lucky to have met them that morning. 🐑💚
