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)

Since a week ago yes definitely, since yesterday I am not certain. Here is one notification that seems to go nowhere: https://piefed.social/post/995600, where the notification, received yesterday, said "Jean-Luc Plushcard New Post in tenforward@lemmy.world", yet I see that post neither in the modlog for the community (https://lemmy.world/modlog/526169) nor in the list of actual posts in it, on the original server (https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward). Even if the post changed its title, then (1) it can't be in the modlog bc the last rejection there is 7 days ago iirc, and (2) that should not change the URL link to it if it wasn't rejected. Perhaps then it was removed by the original poster? Also PieFed had that Cloudflare issue, I think it was yesterday? But I don't know if that is related.

Do you think this situation is a good one to report on?

I would say so, worst case scenario it's a false positive, best case you identified a bug!

Okay, created!
