I wanna give it a try, but I’ve been looking at the servers and I haven’t found the one for me and what I’ll use the account for. Nor do I know of any account on a pixelfed server I could be interested in following…to just follow accounts on completely different federated servers it wouldn’t make any sense to me.

The average user doesn’t want to migrate here, though. The average user is either content to keep their Reddit account or thinking on migrating to another big centralised platform.

Open-source decentralised platforms like the fediverse and its projects aren’t remotedly interesting for the average user.

“The growth” of the fediverse in general or of any platform in it is not responsibility of one server. The only thing Beehaw admins are responsible for is Beehaw.

If you want Lemmy to grow create your own communities and threads, participate in other people’s communities and posts, etc.

there are more than 1000 Lemmy servers, many of whom are open to community creation (something that Beehaw never has been)

Go create content on Lemmy if you want it to grow.

BTW, “growth” is not necessarily a good thing on the fediverse. Growing too much can be the death of a server.

What if…just hear me…what if you just enjoy your time on the threadiverse and live Reddit alone?

The beauty of the fediverse is that those people exist in their own servers and you can simply join servers that defederate from theirs.

I’ve got some news about the demographics of the threadiverse

We already have sites that offer small communities; what we needed was a replacement for Reddit.

The thing is neither Lemmy not kbin were made to be Reddit replacements.

The reason Reddit/Facebook/et al are so huge is because people want to have a single community to talk with

They’re also centralised and their respective servers can tolerate much more content being shared/posted onto them than a fediverse server can. Having different communities allows for a given server not to be saturated.

Idk why there are so many general use instances when the threadiverse would be a great place for themed instances to exist. But even with thematic instances you can’t avoid similar communities existing (because multiples servers could exist for the same topic/fandom/etc.

Something that connects communities about the same topic from different servers into a “macro-community”, so everything posted in any of the communities can be read when you click one of them, without putting to much pressure into a sole server, would be cool. But I don’t think is posible with AP alone.

Because they’re two different communities/magazines hosted in two different servers from two different platforms

Federation makes it posible for you to participate in both

Yes. Defederation of bad actors has always been common and it’s expected.

Why would anyone still be on Twitter when Mastodon, Akkoma, Calckey, GoToSocial, etc exist?
