Asking genuinely: do people still use Mastodon? It boomed briefly when Musky took twitter but for whatever reason, people decided to go to the data harvesting, ad filled blue sky. I never got either of them but have been recently thinking of mastodon but assumed people don’t still use it.
according to https://piefed.zip/c/fedigrow/p/1122722/growth-of-the-fediverse-20260222 it’s the most popular Fediverse platform by far.
Does this data take into account that any posts on Lemmy/Piefed are automatically also posts on Mastodon (and comments are replies) but this doesn’t necessarily happen the other way around?
