    Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search “Mastodon” after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.

      MAU means “monthly active users”. As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.

        Uhh am I missing something? Linked page says Mastodon has 1 million mau, while for lemmy it says just below 40 000 mau?

        For me, Mastodon was not very user friendly. I still jump on it every now and then but I’m still not comfortable with it yet.

              Tapping on a hashtag generally gives an option to follow it. It works just like following a person.

              Here’s the option on Megalodon (which I’d guess is similar to the official app)

              And here it is in Trunks

        Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.

        I’m not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.
