Wow Mastodon is under 70% now.

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
- That’s what the downvote is for 😉

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?
- 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.
  
  Ooooooooo, I love your username! A username like that deserves a ticket on the number nine!
- Correct. It's from https://fedidb.org/, if you scroll down the main page you can find the Software User Distribution pie

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.
  
  Reddit is still censoring lemmy sites, in case anyone else is curious
  Wow, really? That is hilarious
- 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
  
  A thousand different people and you all recognise them by name? Sounds like a great community!
  
  I swear FlyingSquid is the only poster on Lemmy.
  
  A part of this might be shared interes. The same people visit the same spaces.
  See it as an opportunity to build tighter communities and friendships.
  
  The front page of Reddit was the same 10 usernames for majority of the sites existence. I wouldnt be surprised if it was still the same users just using multiple accounts because so many people blocked their mains.
- 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.
- This is looking at total users, but I think monthly active users would be a better stat to use here. Lemmy has about 3 times the MAU of Misskey.
  Edit: Also worth noting that Pixelfed has close to 3 times Lemmy's MAU now.
- I'm not sure how this is measured, but from what I've seen by using mastodon a bit, they have a lot of bots that repost content from other sources, so in that way it feels a lot less active.

For some reason the post cut off part of the full image.
Taken from https://fedidb.org/
- @michael thanks! the image itself gave me 0 idea what you where talking about.
- They are both cut off.

70% of what?
- 100%
- I'm assuming 70% of the Fediverse.

Well I’ve been saying for a while that the fediverse needs to move on from Mastodon in order to grow, so this is a good sign. Though this is total users, not active users AFAICT.

Hmmm, fedidb says "total users: +93K since last month", "total monthly active users: +68K since last month". That's not that much, but not too shabby either.
Looks like the growth is more attributed to pixelfed

- Pixelfed is having its moment in the spotlight - on the Apple app store it's currently getting more downloads than Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram.
  Of course, it's helped along by the fact that people don't have it installed already. But still fun to se the Fediverse represented in the list of popular apps. I think similar things are happening on Android in many countries.
  
  Wow, that's great. Hopefully the servers can stand the load!

I thought the cropping was just because the op was making a 69 joke

Good, more software diversity is always good. We shouldn't all just use a single software.

I know this is pointing at percentages, but those numbers are still way off from whatever else I was just looking at earlier today. Like they had lemmy #2, Pixelfed #3 and loops, whatever the hell that is, at like #5. Here on the best Fedi platform, friendica, they said there were just over 2,000 active users, making loops already at 6 times larger than us. I still think we need to get ready because someday the facebook migration will come and boy howdy.
- Are Lemmy communities easy to browse from Friendica?
- loops, whatever the hell that is
  FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.
