Anyone think Fediverse active userbase is going to fall as much too, only slower? That most people will return to their comfy commercial social networks now that the reddit and twitter demonstrations is in the past?
I'm hoping not. I like it this active. I don't want to go back to ads and "personalised" feeds and yearly new useless features.
I think the no third party apps on Reddit is the best thing ever for fediverse - even if I wanted to return, I can't :)
On top of that, some of those apps are coming to Lemmy. Sync just launched and if a big iOS one like Apollo were to follow, then I think a lot of users will come over just to check out the apps. At which point a lot of them will realize they like Lemmy and just stay here.
