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.
It’s quite good, in my opinion. If we had some bridge to lemmy’s posts, it would be even better. Also I’ve checked and if you like or comment a mastodon post from Pixelfed you’ll receive the notification, so, it’s something🤷♂️.
You can post from PixelFed into Lemmy but you won’t see replies and that’s too bad.
