NodeBB getting left out despite having more users than both:

    Mbin has <1k users combined across 10 instances that allow sign-ups (and adding Kbin to it helps not at all with only one instance remaining, in Poland)

    PieFed.social alone already has nearly 1k active users, and then there are several tens of instances (surely more of them allow sign-ups than it indicates though, like PieFed.zip)

    Plus the user base of PieFed has quadrupled in the last few months, rather than stagnating and actually decreasing in the same time period.

    So this gun fight is already over, pardner 🤠

    tardigram.com does not show up in my link, but does in yours. Perhaps Fediverse Explorer is only showing sites that have an English option, whereas FediDB includes other languages by default?

    Some people don’t like that term anymore.

    Though if Mbin wants to gain more traction they should further develop the !interstellar@kbin.earth app on iOS 😉

    In terms of zeitgeist I think Piefed has won by far. I hardly see people suggest mbin as an alternative to Lemmy anymore. I'm pretty happy with mbin though! There are dozens of us!

    Takes a lot of humility to admit your favourite platform may not be the winner in popularity or ideals.

    We can all still hang out across them all, so IMO popularity of a single platform doesn't really matter that much. If they were all separately contained and couldn't share content with each other like X to Reddit or Facebook, etc, that would make a bigger difference cuz people would want to go where the rest of the people are.
