I’m genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)
Fediverse does everything I require out of social media. Functionality is mostly there and getting better (Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually), apps are better. Maybe there aren’t that many people that are into this and that’s okay because we’re not a corporation that needs to report quarterly growth forever.

I do generally wish there was more content. So I've decided to start actively participating rather than lurking more recently.

I appreciate your effort. I was more of a lurker on Reddit, but realised we all got to actively participate here.
Unfortunately, content marketing is a long-term ROI strategy. IMO other marketing means (e.g. ads, influencers) would do a better job of bringing new users onboard in the short term, helping us to tap into the network effort.

Highjacking the top comment, but it seems like OP instance only federates 7 communities: lemmy.relayeasy.com/communities?listingType=All&s…

Hey yes, early days with this instance. But seemed the right/correct place to ask generally…

Same! Never posted or commented much on Reddit before, but now I post small reviews on stuff I own and announce libraries I make for Bevy. It’s not much, but it’s something :)

Yeah I’m new to Lemmy, myself and this is really my only complaint. There’s some things that I’m interested in that just don’t really have an active community on here at all
I’m liking it here so far so I’m going to try to do the same and post more actively, I mostly lurked when I was on Reddit
