Not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of new users to the fediverse.

Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.
It’s incredibly active. It’s not gigagigant size, like masto, but it has a userbase large enough to survive for many years without an infusion. Reddit is still censoring lemmy sites, in case anyone else is curious
People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don’t need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.
Yes very active. So active that, in fact, I keep seeing the same 1000 usernames all over Lemmy.
eh, reddit was like that for like the first 10 years
Yeah, and it started sucking when it added more users.
Its wild to me how active lemmy feels compared to mastodon. I told my normie friends about it when I found out about it during the migration and they insisted that it would die and recently I was able to update them and say its still going strong and its got its own unique vibe that feels different from reddit.
It’s because you can actually have discussions on Lemmy, whereas microblogging like mastodon is just “old man shouts at cloud” multiplied by 2 million people. I never understood the appeal.
Not getting this experience on Mastodon. I hopped on after Lemmy, but so far I’ve had several positive back and forths with people.
What am I looking at exactly? I see a cropped image, and mastodon is under 70%. Based on an educated guess and nothing more, I’m going to guess what you’re trying to convay is that in the pie that represents the total fediverse, mastodon used to account for more than 70%, and now smaller services are growing. So mastodons total pie share shrinks, as the pie grows in other areas.
Is that about what you’re trying to say? Or am I way off?
Correct. It’s from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie
I thought the exact same thing. A badly cropped picture assuming everyone is familiar with the site it is taken from. Not even a fucking link back to the site.

100%
I don’t even know what this is. you cropped all of the information off
Usage share among the various fediverse apps. That is, taken as a whole how much of the fediverse is Mastodon. This is the first time [ever?] it dropped below 70%.
but mastodon is not the same type of app as Lemmy ? why would they be compared? are they being compared? I’m just guessing because it’s all cropped away
Well, see, Mastodon has had a functional monopoly on ActivityPub usage, and also Mastodon users are able to and do engage with Lemmy communities. Mastodon’s share of AP usage going down is of interest because the fediverse has a monoculture issue, and that’s a thing people on a forum like this one should keep in mind.
What’s missing is that Pixelfed shot up in usage this week with it’s official app releases on Apple and Google app stores. It at one point surpassed Facebook and Instagram in the top 10 on Apple I think. That surge was enough to reduce Mastodon’s usage to under 70%. I think Pixelfed monthly active users is now like twice that of Lemmy.
I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke
