A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
@ruud @fediverse @fediversenews
Fedidb numbers for lemmy servers: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Lemmy.world breaking out in front on MAU (which is the more meaningful metric right now as lemmy.ml certainly has collected a number of dead accounts over time).
Kbin.social is the other big instance, but I’m not on there much and don’t know how active it is.
@maegul @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews that's good, the devs never wanted it to be big or the main instance.
@Geniusak @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews
Oh, absolutely, something that they really deserve credit on TBH, compared to what's going on over here with mastodon.social.
AFAICT, they've been friendly with #kbin too ... it looks like they're sharing this growth, which is nice for the same reasons.
Imagine if #akkoma and #mastodon shared the twitter migration.
@maegul @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews why, what happened between akkoma and masto?
@Geniusak @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews
Nothing happened, AFAIK. It's just that mastodon dominates amongst the microblogging. For many, mastodon is the replacement for twitter.
If, somehow, the twitter migration were distributed more evenly between mastodon and akkoma, I think we'd have a different fediverse. More awareness and appreciation of platform and feature diversity and quality inter-operation, I'd guess.
Goddamn communists!
