Yeah, would also be nice to be able to combine multiple local markets.

Isn’t this more like the software you’d use to build whatever local (but maybe federated) site? Like, you don’t ask your friend if they’ve been on Shopify or Squarespace lately.

Something, something über alles…

I’d also wager the proportion of human users is much higher on Lemmy.

But in addition to what happened to Yahoo, Meta’s platforms also use the network effect to keep users. Once the tide turns and the network effect is stronger elsewhere the userbase may quickly evaporate, like what happened to MySpace.

And Switzerland just closed their instance in part due to what they claim is a declining user base.

I’ve only seen Mastodon slowly creeping up, not decline.
