A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Getting started on Fediverse;

founded 5 years ago

It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

I quite like beehaw and their communities, and yeah, you're missing out on those if you're on world, from what I understand. (Fairly sure they're still defederated.)

I personally like lemmy.ml, but I know it's not for everyone, and the admins would prefer to keep it a smaller instance, I think. I'm only here because there weren't as many federated servers three years ago when I made an account.

You also might check out !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, they flood my feed with good memes.

I blocked 196 because it was just shitty memes being spammed
