Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Isn't it odd that Nooki is effectively dead vs. Lemmy, but ATproto, which Nooki uses, has a larger number of users to it than ActivityPub does? (lemmy.wtf)

Basically, as the title asks, Nooki is effectively dead in terms of activity compared to Lemmy which is actually pretty active, but ATproto, which Nooki uses, has a larger userbase than ActivityPub, doesn't that seem odd to anyone else or is it just me?

Nooki should be more active than it seems like it is at least on my end.

There's also the nerdy versus a normy factor to look at. Reddit was always a significantly nerdier place. The API-pocalypse disproportionately concerned or impacted the nerdier crowd more to boot. Lots of Normies never tried to leave Reddit, and many went back to it quickly. There wasn't a lot of normy content on the Fediverse for them. And they could mostly run their normy communities on reddit satisfactorily.

Twitter OTOH was always a much more Normy space. And when an open fascist came in and started shitting all over community and moderation, it left a lot of them no quarter. The more educated ones came to the fediverse. But the Dorsey sheep largely went to blue sky, to likely repeat this all again in the future. Either way, they were never the crowd that was attracted to Reddit in general. So it makes a lot of sense that a reddit like site built on the blue sky stack was a non starter.
