Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

I used to say "Welcome to Lemmy" to new joiners, but nowadays quite a few of them join Piefed instance, having a generic term is easier

You can't follow Mastodon users from Lemmy or Piefed, using "Fedivers" seems too generic

It’s still the Fediverse. While things are connected, not everything has to be absolutely connected. There’s still work to be done.

Except that's the premise new joiners are told when they join the Fediverse "everything is connected".

Turns out it's not, you have Mbin/PieFed/Lemmy on one side, then Mastodon/Sharkey/Iceshrimp on another, and the support between both is rudimentary, as people commented below

Not on Mbin at least.. I follow plenty of people from Mastodon/Other services from this MBin account and interact with them time from time

Mbin has 812 monthly active users: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Piefed 1800: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Lemmy 37000: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

If 98% of the people can't do something, I'm going to say all of them can't do it.

The difference is that all those platforms are absolutely open to sign up in. It's a case of 98% of people choose not to do something, just like (say) 98% of people choose to stay on reddit so why should lemmy even be a thing, rite?

I have an account on an mbin. I'm not using it only because I'm lazy.

The platforms being open don't mean much, /r/RedditAlternatives gets a new Reddit alternative every week that's open for sign up

I have an account on an mbin. I’m not using it only because I’m lazy.

And probably because microblogging isn't that important to you, like 98% of the Threadiverse userbase
