Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Do you have any idea why Mbin never got as active as Kbin was?

[โ€“] Kierunkowy74@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

IMHO for the same reason why Myspace has over hundreds of millions of MAU and Spacehey has got only over million of users overall.

IMHO solving UX sins does not bring new users. It rather helps not to deter them.

The Great Migration from Reddit did not repeat with the same scale, as with Great Twitter Migrations. Even then, most people IMHO return rather to their already existing accounts on already existing instances. Fedia.io has over 5 thousands total users, less than dozen Lemmy servers.

With the lemm.ee going down, we will witness a MAU drop. A non-zero number of people care no more about federation and will not make a switch.

There might not be enough stock of users to repeat /kbin's growth right now. Even recent developments at PieFed make its MAU number only slightly larger than Mbin

People don't generally flock for a software. Maybe for wobbly windows, but we are not doing e.g. Misskey-Flavoured Markdown here (yet?)

The best way to do a migration is to do it with joy and awe. Mbin has no kbin.social's big numbers, no ernest's individual vision, no marketing, no promise of awesome development, and a rump of spontaneously forming culture of the flagship instance.

Many of these "redemptions" still depend on scale - both of the local instance... and the external Fediverse. /kbin and Mbin benefit from Mastodon, but its MAU is shrinking too...
