My experience as well. I blitzed and grinded followers cuz it was easy and why not. My feed is okay in general, but I had to follower 1.5kish people to get it that way.

But I still get more than twice the engagement and meaningful engagement at that on Mastadon and Kbin, with less than half the followers. I also get little out of twitter, but I may be bad at it.

Oh sweet summer child.

May just be a gamble on future tech. IF federation is the future of the web (and I hope it is!) getting in early and helping shape it makes sense. Its also something of proven tech at the moment, so if they just threw this up fast to take advantage of twitter fires, it makes sense to use something that they know works as opposed to pulling a bluesky and doing it all from scratch. Also means there are more developers out there that are familiar with the tech.

They have also already declared that if you federate with them, your instance has to abide by their code of conduct, so they already throwing their weight around.

Thank you for showing the growth in ACTIVE users, not just accounts. Its still impressive, and more truthful!

Honestly even on reddit, id call them forums to non reddit users. Subreddits was awkward to use in IRL conversation.

See I’m not addicted to Lemmy. I’m on Kbin! I don’t have a problem! Lemmy has the problem. I just read and comment there too…

Correct! Every instance could be it’s own reddit, with it’s own mods and rules. And you can be a part of all of it, or none of it.

It’s a weird way to think of things for those of us who are used to the Diggs and Reddits of the world. There has been somw call for options to ‘consolidate’ or ‘group’ things, but it remains to be seen how or if that’s a reasonable ask.

I relate a bit too much to this… agile when convenient as well.

I love the idea of croissants way more than I like eating them. Maybe I’ve never gotten my hands on a really GOOD one before.
