MAU means "monthly active users". As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.
On the other hand, until the Reddit exodus settles down after the July 1 massive wave, it is not sensible to evaluate Mastodon vs Lemmy MAU numbers.
Uhh am I missing something? Linked page says Mastodon has 1 million mau, while for lemmy it says just below 40 000 mau?
They were talking about MAU Vs Users, which is similar (mastodon has like x 40 in each)
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.
For me, Mastodon was actually quite nice once I started following hashtags.
For me, Mastodon is a great metal band.
Out of curiosity, what were some things you found hard to get used to about Mastodon?
Finding interesting things to follow.
I'm not a twitter user, and also I thought that you'd find groups with whom you'd share, but instead I only found accounts telling me news I already knew. Roughly.
For me I'll check out my account from time to time for the FOSS stuff, but I could probably just hang out somewhere else (IDK where though :-)
