I’m excited to see where software development is going to go. It seems like every major microblogging platform has a few different flavors and there are multiple platform choices available. What were using is just the beginning, the software can only ever get better really. It’s not like the corporate world where they make shit worse on purpose to make more money. And as the software gets better than use might increase as well since you can do more and do it easier and more elegantly
Correct. However with ActivityPub protocol those number are irrevalent : any increase of users from (Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed) will benefit Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed.
And to a certain extend, on Mbin and later Piefed, they will also reach microblogging plateform as iceshrimp and mastodon. Then pixelfed, peertube, loops…
*threadiverse, we don’t want to exclude other software

Do you mean every major social media platform?
I haven’t seen any lemmy forks yet
You should definitly try them. :)
They’re not forks, but we have piefed and mbin (fork of kbin) and a couple more that have shut down
True, but this graph only shows Lemmy users, right?
