Lemmy.world may be quickly becoming the relative centre of the #threadiverse

Growing fast, communities gaining more traction than counterparts on lemmy.ml and probably has the momentum of being new ground for everyone.

See, eg @ruud scaling the server up to the same specs as mastodon.world: https://lemmy.world/post/75556

There’s probably a good amount of scope for experienced mastodon admins to run parallel #lemmy/#kbin servers. #Hachyderm are thinking about it AFAIK.

@maegul @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews that's good, the devs never wanted it to be big or the main instance.

Oh, absolutely, something that they really deserve credit on TBH, compared to what's going on over here with mastodon.social.

AFAICT, they've been friendly with #kbin too ... it looks like they're sharing this growth, which is nice for the same reasons.

Imagine if #akkoma and #mastodon shared the twitter migration.

Goddamn communists!

@maegul @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews why, what happened between akkoma and masto?

@Geniusak @ruud @fediverse @fediversenews

Nothing happened, AFAIK. It's just that mastodon dominates amongst the microblogging. For many, mastodon is the replacement for twitter.

If, somehow, the twitter migration were distributed more evenly between mastodon and akkoma, I think we'd have a different fediverse. More awareness and appreciation of platform and feature diversity and quality inter-operation, I'd guess.

Fedidb numbers for lemmy servers: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Lemmy.world breaking out in front on MAU (which is the more meaningful metric right now as lemmy.ml certainly has collected a number of dead accounts over time).

Kbin.social is the other big instance, but I’m not on there much and don’t know how active it is.
