Strange to measure it against an invite only site, I would love to sign up but I haven’t been able to find invites. I think between Mastodon, Bluesky & Threads via ActivityPub (eventually) will get most of my communities back.
I love Mastodon & prefer it in many ways but there just aren’t enough people there. The tech & dev community is lively, everything else is essentially non-existent.
It's a convenience article. They're just reporting some number they have access to.
And why Threads instead of Mastodon if you belive it will use ActivityPub.
Broners are pretty active there. Biggest instance is equestria.social, some people use or run smaller instances, some use GP instances.
Threads has momentum and easy signups, it’s simple for people. I wouldn’t use it myself directly but I’m sure it would help expand the communities that are available via a Mastodon client.
Do you want one? I have a spare.
Sure, that would be amazing. Thank you!
I just realized I have no idea how to pm someone on here
Not sure via the mobile apps, and there are so many. From the regular Lemmy web interface, you just tap their name anywhere which takes you to their profile and then tap “Send Message” in the top right corner.
Found it!
