    Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search “Mastodon” after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.

        Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.

        I’m not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.

      MAU means “monthly active users”. As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.

        Uhh am I missing something? Linked page says Mastodon has 1 million mau, while for lemmy it says just below 40 000 mau?

          They were talking about MAU Vs Users, which is similar (mastodon has like x 40 in each)

        For me, Mastodon was not very user friendly. I still jump on it every now and then but I’m still not comfortable with it yet.

            Finding interesting things to follow.

            I’m not a twitter user, and also I thought that you’d find groups with whom you’d share, but instead I only found accounts telling me news I already knew. Roughly.

            For me I’ll check out my account from time to time for the FOSS stuff, but I could probably just hang out somewhere else (IDK where though :-)
