A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

"This is good for Bitcoin" vibes there.

Yeah. Since Reddit is back to normal, the majority of people who left it due to protest now returns.

It’s probably more likely that we’re losing more of the “Fediverse is just Reddit 2.0” kind of people - which is great because that’s 10k or w/e less Redditors that’ll go back on the platform they actually want to use.

Fediverse doesn’t have an ocean of communities and content (yet), but that’s fine with me since I’m more active here and trying to offer more insightful comments outside of the Reddit staple “this” kind of comments.

At the very least it's less engaging than reddit. Makes it easier to scroll less frequently and focus on other more important things.

e.g. removing old.reddit

Shit, are they planning this?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I would actually stop using Reddit if they did this. New Reddit is intolerable.

I'll be more interested in the user numbers when it's been a year.
