Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

    As always, you guys are way too fixated on size.

      Lemmy alone creates more content that I care about. This is fine.

      Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

      It’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion of the ocean.

      Yes. Quality is the key thing about fediverse. Also - size doesn’t mean everything. Black holes are small, but mighty. Lemmy sucks most of my spare time already.
