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

They will join us once the long promised groups implementation is finally merged in Pixelfed.

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I'm confused because nobody talks about it.
Is it because of some niche super active audience?

[openstars@piefed.social]

I guess I am a snowflake too then, bc to me consent should matter. And while the USA is a part of the world, and also has an oversized effect upon it due to the size of the economy and trade deals and the like, it also can be overwhelming for some, who feel ostracized and left out as if only the big guys (and guns) matter.

But on the other hand, it is known that moderation sucks across the vast majority of Lemmy - it's somewhat baked right into the tools themselves, e.g. removing whole posts rather than merely taking them out of the community lists but allowing people to continue their discussions already begun, as Reddit does.

So you may want to take it upon yourself to either start blocking by keywords (maybe find an app that allows that - I'm not sure which ones), or user accounts that do that, or even find a better community to engage with.

Though I agree with your conclusion: I no longer recommend Lemmy to people irl by virtue of having been burned by that far too many times before. We're toxic AF in this Alt-Left (rather than Alt-Right) "Nazi bar" space, and a lot of the people here are legit those banned from Reddit for exactly that behavior.

What are the top 2? Mastodon and what else?

Moderation isn't ideal, but absent moderators aren't going to moderate even with the best tools

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Its active in the non-english circles from what I hear. Probably a part of it.

[blaze@feddit.org]

It has definitely been long promised

[blaze@feddit.org]

Yeah, that's definitely a shame. Let's see how it goes, but I'm about to create a !usdefaultism somewhere just to list those occurrences

[anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

SPLITTERS!

Hos their onboarding experience? I get the feeling onbording is in the top issues that are said to be why people are less inclined to sign up

[breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca]

By registered accounts:

1. Mastodon
2. Misskey
3. PeerTube

It's big in Japan. Most of the servers are Japanese.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

I’m also a snowflake, cause it’s also annoying that people assume you’re from USA.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

I wouldn’t say it was competing, it would be like saying Reddit and Instagram competed.

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Its all good, any good examples of this specific link? I can see some old posts from the user but nothing recent on ANY lemmy instance. So you earier comment may be correct.

[someguy3@lemmy.world]

I just got called a rapist! For asking wtf she was wearing, fashion wise. (On a non rape story just to be clear). I also wonder why I'm still here. Y'all need to be better.
