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

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