Very cool, maybe mastodon will finally take off.
And still has hardly any content. Maybe it's out there but it's nearly impossible to find.
Here you can load up and instantly get to the good stuff and start enjoying your time.
Biggest reason I prefer Lemmy over Mastodon
How many active users? Because Lemmy's active users are coming down
VS hundreds of millions for Xitter and maybe ten millions for Thread (hard to find data more recent than early August)
I would not trust ANY user data for threads. They bundle those numbers with IG. Or at least they did.
It's useful to compare to your competitors and if only 18% of your users are actually active and the trend is going down then your product might be on its way out.
IRC could stand on its own, it doesn't have 250k users at peak hours today. BBSs could stand on their own, today's there's probably less than a thousand still active.
If there was an influx of users that came because of some scandals and they didn't stick around, chances are many of them won't come back for seconds because they've had their first impression already.
I honestly forgot threads even existed
Let’s hope other news institutions follow suit 🙌
