    This is a strange take - Mastodon makes up ~80% of the Fediverse, whereas Lemmy makes up like 3% or something.

    Mastodon is the entire reason the Fediverse as a whole ended up taking off - for most people, it is the only thing they are aware of.

        Not accurate unfortunately as the vast majority are bots. It’s more along the lines of 300k to 500k currently.

      I think the reality is just that microblogging is always going to be devoid of content when compared to a messageboard system like lemmy or reddit
