You can see it if you check https://fedidb.org/. Monthly active users have gone from just a hair under one million to somewhere around 1.4 million and still growing. How do we think this will go? How do we feel about this influx of new users? Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?

I feel like I didn't really recognize having different "platforms" like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a "first" impression with people.

Some people care, most don't. Lemmy.world is the vanilla ice cream of the fediverse. Thanks for being part of the community!

I like vanilla ice cream. It's a great base. Maybe today you throw some butterscotch and peacans on it! But tomorrow it's caramel and fudge, and the next day it's chocolate chip cookie dough, and yhe day after that it's whipped cream and strawberry syrup. And the day after that it's chocolate sauce with peanuts.

Meanwhile, the guy who got chocolate just ate the same bowl of ice cream for 5 days.

See it's kind of like sex, too. Some people just do the same thing over and over. But what I do, is I take some handcuffs, and chains, and baby oil, and some.... trails off

And that kids, is how I met your Mother!
