I'm genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)

But usage is not going downwards. Check these stats out: https://fediverse.observer/stats

MAU has been steady at 1.1 million since this time last year.

Within the fediverse there are some platforms that are losing ground and some that are growing.

Up the top it has software filter, if you select lemmy:

collapsed inline media

At this rate by 2035 the lemmy userbase will be depleted

Seven years isn't a bad halflife for a social-media platform. That's about how long thefacebook was actually usable, that's about how long I was active on reddit, that's about how long I was posting on my blog every day. That's significantly longer than I was using livejournal or iLike.
