This happened quickly…Lemmy is now the second biggest platform next to mastodon!?!
Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search “Mastodon” after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.
… and then went back to twitter, but did not deactivate their #Fediverse account.
Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.
I’m not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.
Usualy being a very late adopter (buy stuff last, accept trends last, switch to norms late), I’m very happy I shutdown and deleted everything from my reddit account among the first, when spez bullcrap started, and went elsewhere, I joined squabbles, kbin and lemmy. But I’m here, I like the community, adoption and migration, and seeing the numbers tells me I’m not alone. Which is good.
In my opion Lemmy has more potential then mastodon.
Curious why you think that (I’m inclined to agree FWIW).
I was able to figure out what my options were much more quickly. The UI of Kbin seems very sparse. If it offers similar functionality, it is not obvious. Also, I don’t like combining “magazines” with “microblog”. It seems like it wants to be all things to all people.
@vamp07 Yea, I agree, I think the combination done in kbin will be what some people want while others will prefer the relative focus and simplicity of lemmy.
I’m all for having choices. The thing about Kbin is that when I first land on the page I can’t even figure out how to limit what I see to only what I am subscribed to. Maybe I need to spend more time, but that level of filtering or choice seems well hidden.
