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.

          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.

          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.

    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?

      @michael thanks! the image itself gave me 0 idea what you where talking about.

    Well I’ve been saying for a while that the fediverse needs to move on from Mastodon in order to grow, so this is a good sign. Though this is total users, not active users AFAICT.

    I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke

    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.
