Not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of new users to the fediverse.

      Usage share among the various fediverse apps. That is, taken as a whole how much of the fediverse is Mastodon. This is the first time [ever?] it dropped below 70%.

        but mastodon is not the same type of app as Lemmy ? why would they be compared? are they being compared? I’m just guessing because it’s all cropped away

          Well, see, Mastodon has had a functional monopoly on ActivityPub usage, and also Mastodon users are able to and do engage with Lemmy communities. Mastodon’s share of AP usage going down is of interest because the fediverse has a monoculture issue, and that’s a thing people on a forum like this one should keep in mind.

    Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.

      Its wild to me how active lemmy feels compared to mastodon. I told my normie friends about it when I found out about it during the migration and they insisted that it would die and recently I was able to update them and say its still going strong and its got its own unique vibe that feels different from reddit.

        It’s because you can actually have discussions on Lemmy, whereas microblogging like mastodon is just “old man shouts at cloud” multiplied by 2 million people. I never understood the appeal.

          Not getting this experience on Mastodon. I hopped on after Lemmy, but so far I’ve had several positive back and forths with people.

    What am I looking at exactly? I see a cropped image, and mastodon is under 70%. Based on an educated guess and nothing more, I’m going to guess what you’re trying to convay is that in the pie that represents the total fediverse, mastodon used to account for more than 70%, and now smaller services are growing. So mastodons total pie share shrinks, as the pie grows in other areas.

    Is that about what you’re trying to say? Or am I way off?
