Not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of new users to the fediverse.

Usage share among the various fediverse apps. That is, taken as a whole how much of the fediverse is Mastodon. This is the first time [ever?] it dropped below 70%.
but mastodon is not the same type of app as Lemmy ? why would they be compared? are they being compared? I’m just guessing because it’s all cropped away
Well, see, Mastodon has had a functional monopoly on ActivityPub usage, and also Mastodon users are able to and do engage with Lemmy communities. Mastodon’s share of AP usage going down is of interest because the fediverse has a monoculture issue, and that’s a thing people on a forum like this one should keep in mind.
What’s missing is that Pixelfed shot up in usage this week with it’s official app releases on Apple and Google app stores. It at one point surpassed Facebook and Instagram in the top 10 on Apple I think. That surge was enough to reduce Mastodon’s usage to under 70%. I think Pixelfed monthly active users is now like twice that of Lemmy.
They are all fediverse apps that talk to one another even if their purpose is different. Mastodon users can see and reply to posts on Lemmy.

70% of what?
100%
I’m assuming 70% of the Fediverse.
What am I looking at exactly? I see a cropped image, and mastodon is under 70%. Based on an educated guess and nothing more, I’m going to guess what you’re trying to convay is that in the pie that represents the total fediverse, mastodon used to account for more than 70%, and now smaller services are growing. So mastodons total pie share shrinks, as the pie grows in other areas.
Is that about what you’re trying to say? Or am I way off?
I thought the exact same thing. A badly cropped picture assuming everyone is familiar with the site it is taken from. Not even a fucking link back to the site.
Ooooooooo, I love your username! A username like that deserves a ticket on the number nine!
@Lost_My_Mind @fediverse @mannycalavera totally! That is such a classic 😃😃
Correct. It’s from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie
Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.
It’s incredibly active. It’s not gigagigant size, like masto, but it has a userbase large enough to survive for many years without an infusion. Reddit is still censoring lemmy sites, in case anyone else is curious
People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don’t need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.
Even many regional message boards or forums we’re very active. Boards.ie in Ireland was the nerds internet forum. A fediverse before there was one. It was the go to for info about anything tech related or internet culture. Whirlpool in Australia is still the go to for info about internet and broadband, and is still active, if much reduced.
Its wild to me how active lemmy feels compared to mastodon. I told my normie friends about it when I found out about it during the migration and they insisted that it would die and recently I was able to update them and say its still going strong and its got its own unique vibe that feels different from reddit.
It’s because you can actually have discussions on Lemmy, whereas microblogging like mastodon is just “old man shouts at cloud” multiplied by 2 million people. I never understood the appeal.
Not getting this experience on Mastodon. I hopped on after Lemmy, but so far I’ve had several positive back and forths with people.
Yes very active. So active that, in fact, I keep seeing the same 1000 usernames all over Lemmy.
eh, reddit was like that for like the first 10 years
Even Digg. I still remember the complaints about mrbabyman.
The front page of Reddit was the same 10 usernames for majority of the sites existence. I wouldnt be surprised if it was still the same users just using multiple accounts because so many people blocked their mains.
I swear FlyingSquid is the only poster on Lemmy.
That and ThePicardManeuver
No mention of Blaze?
Thanks !
@pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org anyone?
Hmmm, fedidb says “total users: +93K since last month”, “total monthly active users: +68K since last month”. That’s not that much, but not too shabby either.
Looks like the growth is more attributed to pixelfed
Pixelfed is having its moment in the spotlight - on the Apple app store it’s currently getting more downloads than Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram.
Of course, it’s helped along by the fact that people don’t have it installed already. But still fun to se the Fediverse represented in the list of popular apps. I think similar things are happening on Android in many countries.
Wow, that’s great. Hopefully the servers can stand the load!
I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke
Good, more software diversity is always good. We shouldn’t all just use a single software.
I know this is pointing at percentages, but those numbers are still way off from whatever else I was just looking at earlier today. Like they had lemmy #2, Pixelfed #3 and loops, whatever the hell that is, at like #5. Here on the best Fedi platform, friendica, they said there were just over 2,000 active users, making loops already at 6 times larger than us. I still think we need to get ready because someday the facebook migration will come and boy howdy.
Are Lemmy communities easy to browse from Friendica?
loops, whatever the hell that is
FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.
