So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying? That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.#Mastodon #SocialMedia @fediverse

I think we need to ask this question separately for the microblogging fediverse and the "threadiverse" (i.e. Lemmy-compatible communities).

The microblogging fediverse isn't dying, I scroll through it every day, it's one of my main sources of news (some of which I then post on Lemmy). I wouldn't be able to keep up with much more than what I currently get into my feed there.

The threadiverse meanwhile could definitely use much more activity. I hope it eventually becomes a place to discuss even the most niche topics imaginable, like web forums in their era...

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip tries to assess the activity levels of regular posters, and it's a bit quiet lately sometimes indeed

What we can probably expect is some consolidation of inactive or barely active communities to get more activity in one place

Same. Mastodon is pretty good and useful. Lemmy is pretty meh.

I tried to get into Mastodon but it just feels awkward for whatever reason to me. For myself, I prefer this somewhat anonymous thread style of the fediverse.

Mastodon is great if you follow people you have have actually met IRL.

Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜
