Because it's just an incredibly small userbase made up mostly of tech/privacy enthusiasts as of right now.
Are tech/privacy enthusiasts known for being super into Wednesdays?
I'd expect them to be... I don't know, complaining about Prime Day sales today. Or taking about something remotely interesting. And I bet they are, but Mastodon isn't finding it.
Oh hell yeah they are. I'm a tech enthusiast, myself. Don't even get me started on Wednesdays because I'll never stop.
They have 2 million active users supposedly, 10 times bigger than Lemmy.
Yeah, that surprised me, actually.
I just took Mastodon for a spin only a week or so ago, and it felt much less active than most of the communities on here do. Just my anecdotal experience, though. I couldn't find more than a handful of Twitter-migrated accounts on Mastodon that I cared to follow. There just wasn't much happening on there that I'm interested in when I last checked. I'll look again.
because they nerf discoverability so hard. You wouldn't be surprised they hate Lemmy and how it crawls instances so you can actually find their communities in the search feature. They strongly hate that for some reason, somehow about it hurting minorities or some shit. That tends to be their go to if you disagree with the hivemind's stance on anything, that you must hate minorities.
Lmao, yeh it sounds exactly like what I thought it would be. Attracts a certain type of person and politics.
It's not that incredibly small
