Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

It's always going to be like that; photo blogging is a lot more popular than niche forums and bulletin boards.

Also, Pixelfed has a lot more eyes on it because of Meta being in the news.

It's not a bad thing though.

Misskey should have more active users, even more than Pixelfed right now.
Almost all Japanese fediverse users are on Misskey instances.

A lot of post in Misskey instance are often followers only. I know several instance that the admin say they have thousands of users but simply not reporting any MAU users for certain reason.
Even the one that report them are usually lower than actual MAU due to "offline mode"

Does the server matter at all? Wasn't able to find a straight pixelfed.ca like I did with Lemmy, but it seems like people always end up dunking on the larger servers.

What’s first?

[reksas@sopuli.xyz]

there aren't many places where you can discuss politics or at least try to find comfort in seeing others think somewhat same way. No wonder its all concentrating here.
But there definitely should be a lot more non-politics content.

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

Not surprising since half of lemmy seems to be a support group for inhalant abusers.

iirc it goes "chafing thighs attract all chicks"

[flango@lemmy.eco.br]

Yes! We need a better interface between them

[openstars@piefed.social]

I am not saying that I want DMs enabled to mods, and a modmail, and for a post to remain accessible after being removed, and for notifications to be sent to people upon their content being removed, but the lack of all 4 at the same time is what makes Lemmy difficult for people to handle, and will turn people away (likely back to Reddit).

I've been wondering about that - the Misskey numbers are very weird MAU even lower than the number of new users that join in an average month. But this is a good explanation, thanks. It's just too bad there's not a good way to get MAU for them.

Mastodon

[tabularasa@lemmy.ca]

After an app update, it started working! Yay!

[rooki@lemmy.world]

Like said if the instance has basic autmation at least 1 is doable.

Respectfully, you’re an idiot. Just because it’s also a social network doesn’t mean it’s the same thing. It’s like saying every smartphone is the same. Every car is the same. Every thing from one category is the same. That’s just stupid.

Respectfully, you’re an idiot.

well, that's rather contradictory
