I'm genuinely interested in people thoughts about the Fediverse because here in the UK it has massively stalled in 2025, like a lot of things. I am seeing way less posts from UK people and way less interaction and general use in fact. Most seem to have stopped social media use to be fair, and I know a lot of that is to do with my age (old fart here, 56 laps round sun and counting) but the numbers game look poor from my point of view. Do we think the Fediverse has a future now after useage appears to be going downwards? Is it a UK thing? (well I know the UK is weird but hey)

@blackn1ght@feddit.uk @Flax_vert@feddit.uk @GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk @frankPodmore@slrpnk.net do you maybe want to try to reach out to the .ml and LW communities to see if they could redirect to your communities?

I'm not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it's not up to me, but I'd be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can't see their posts or comments, but I'm a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.

!UKCasual@lemmy.world

Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they'd want to redirect to us.

Part of me also thinks that fediverse doesn't need growth for the sake of growth.
That it's primary function is to be an alternative if people want to use it.
