    I think we need to ask this question separately for the microblogging fediverse and the “threadiverse” (i.e. Lemmy-compatible communities).

    The microblogging fediverse isn’t dying, I scroll through it every day, it’s one of my main sources of news (some of which I then post on Lemmy). I wouldn’t be able to keep up with much more than what I currently get into my feed there.

    The threadiverse meanwhile could definitely use much more activity. I hope it eventually becomes a place to discuss even the most niche topics imaginable, like web forums in their era…

      !fedigrow@lemmy.zip tries to assess the activity levels of regular posters, and it’s a bit quiet lately sometimes indeed

      What we can probably expect is some consolidation of inactive or barely active communities to get more activity in one place

        I tried to get into Mastodon but it just feels awkward for whatever reason to me. For myself, I prefer this somewhat anonymous thread style of the fediverse.
