Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling?

  All the meta products, reddit, old fashioned forums… plenty of things. Discourse (pah) tik tok. Different but have way more users. I’m genuinely curious how they get so little traffic in this day and age against other methods. And yes, I know I’m asking on Lemmy, but I’m new here, and I still cannot fathom why they are so quiet

    Aren’t all of those US focused?

      nope they have plenty of UK focused things. Run by a US corp of course, but plenty of local content. I welcome the debate, but for the majority of people not in the fediverse ecosystem, the numbers just look awful and that is a massive reason they don’t either look here, or stay. Herd mentality is strong. Most of them are in no way shape or form techy either

        If they’re OK on corporate social media, there’s not a lot of reason to switch here indeed
