Lemmy (also mastodon, in effect fediverse) is about quality and interaction, rather than consumption. So userbase being βtinyβ is a feature. Here, your posts arenβt buried under karma farming accounts, your comments actually lead to discussions and get replies.
Iβve switched to RSS feeds for my consumption habbits
Reddit seems to be about 1000x bigger.
Atleast we are growing steadily. Never heard of misskey tho
Misskey is like "the default" fediverse software for Japanese and (Asian) ACG (Animation-comic-games) communities.
This side of fediverse is relatively big, but almost their community rarely reach out Western fediverse mostly due to language and law-related stuff. They have unique photography, online comic market, and and various creative centric community that rarely found on mainstream Western fediverse.
In fact, before Mastodon.social, the biggest fediverse instance is Japanese -- Pawoo.net. At that time, it was managed by Pixiv (Japanese equivalent of DeviantArt), but later sold to random corpo, the moderation collapse, and now abandoned by its community.
Yup, and Reddit started in 2005 (which is 2 decades ago now) with its large migration in 2010. Lemmy only really got going in 2023, and it's growing
Misskey is a Mastodon style platform, that is popular in Japan and existed from a while back. They added activitypub support in 2018
