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.

The tide lifts all the boats... there is also a noticeable uptick in Lemmy registrations, at least here on our instance.

This makes sense to me.

All these people had to pick an instance and now probably understand how to do that.

That’s the biggest hurdle to signing up for lemmy or mastodon.
