This happened quickly…Lemmy is now the second biggest platform next to mastodon!?!
Fediverse is growing fast.
In my opion Lemmy has more potential then mastodon.
I was able to figure out what my options were much more quickly. The UI of Kbin seems very sparse. If it offers similar functionality, it is not obvious. Also, I don’t like combining “magazines” with “microblog”. It seems like it wants to be all things to all people.
@vamp07 Yea, I agree, I think the combination done in kbin will be what some people want while others will prefer the relative focus and simplicity of lemmy.
My bad, i created 6 user accounts until i figured out how this thing works.
Not that much of a surprise considering what’s been happening with reddit
Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search “Mastodon” after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.
… and then went back to twitter, but did not deactivate their #Fediverse account.
Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.
I’m not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.

According to the CEO of Mastodon last time I chatted with him, the software tracks log-ins, so people like me, who do not log out and in again, would be invisible. So I would say with a certain level of confidence that those are active users you are seeing. Unless he changed the code of course, but it did not seem to be high on his ToDo list.

MAU means “monthly active users”. As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.
Uhh am I missing something? Linked page says Mastodon has 1 million mau, while for lemmy it says just below 40 000 mau?
For me, Mastodon was not very user friendly. I still jump on it every now and then but I’m still not comfortable with it yet.
For me, Mastodon was actually quite nice once I started following hashtags.
