Sorry I didn’t mean to sound cocky. It sounds like a byproduct of slow federation. As I edited my comment almost immediately (before you replied) after posting it, to correct said number and provide a source, but it doesn’t look like it got to your end.

Also MAU stands for monthly active users and not total users. But I realise that acronym may not be widespread.

So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?

Thats a fivefold difference.

True. So both have around 10 million total users. Bluesky has no monthly active user statistic. But around 1 million daily posters according to this https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

While Mastodon has ~1 million monthly active users.

So sounds like bluesky’s got a lot more activity with that many daily posters, as of now, anyways.

Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.

So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.

Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation.

For example, I have 8 mastodon accounts (tried a couple different instances and programmed a couple rss bots to give me a news feed).

I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon. For example people can follow my mastodon account on bluesky.

And bluesky has gained > 8 million users in the past couple months. Mastodon has 900 odd thousand MAU.

So clearly the majority have gone to one.

More likely twitter users.

And yes it’s corporate which is less good than mastodon.

But it is add-free, has a working algorithm, is feature rich, is open-source, lets you self-host etc. Full defederation is coming soon too.

Having used both bluesky (self hosted) and mastodon. The experience is simply far better on bluesky.

Unlike lemmy vs reddit. Where (except for active user count) there isn’t really a tradeoff. Lemmy is simply far better.

Bluesky has an algorithm

And the fact that bluesky has many features mastodon does not. Namely, an algorithm.

Hey I’ve had a couple chats with Taylor. She’s real nice. Cool to see her posted on lemmy.

If you’re looking for a free way to do it. The “Hyperweb” extension lets you.

But this is an imperfect solution as it just redirects, and your search still gets sent to your safari default + it takes longer to load.

Back to torrenting 🏴‍☠️

They really create issues out of thin air.

I left it about two years ago. The tiktok style short videos are way too fucking addictive and bring near zero value to my day.

Sorry for all the hate your getting because some people’s brains are programmed to think vegan=bad. Sounds like a major overstep by admins.

Have you looked at the research. Idk about cats, but research suggests for dogs it is okay. Dogs aren’t wolves anymore.

I really like pixelfed, but it replaces what instagram was a decade ago, not what instagram is now.

Pixelfed is amazing for sharing photography type photos.

Instagram is now a photo sharing, video sharing, tiktok doomscrolling, messaging service, noticeboard in one.

Bye bye google, hello duckduckgo or SearXNG.

Google pays reddit to show their results in priority.
