I tell you, I looked at mastodon a couple of years ago, and left it almost untouched and very confused. Lemmy looks a bit better, but is still not great. I think if we want to go mainstream, we should really focus more on “join lemmy” instead of “run lemmy yourself”, but everyone and every admin has a different opinion, so it’s going to take a while.
Mastodon is extremely active. Even if you aren’t there, it’s pretty big. Nonetheless, you are right that shit needs to look very neat for mass adoption to come. Buuuut, from 1k to 240k in like 10 days is very good still :)
