I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?

    I think Diaspora continues to be an active and relevant macro-blogging platform. However, in Fediverse it is now only connected to Friendica and Hubzilla, not to Lemmy and the other software that only use ActivityPub protocol.

      I’ve gone looking for a few diaspora threads … it seemed very very quiet over there (from what I saw, maybe I didn’t find where people are). Like, if you want to feel better about lemmy being on the small side … go check out diaspora.

        Yep that was my experience too. Deafened by the silence. Firefish was like that too. Lemmy’s nOt aS bIg aS rEdDiT but at least people reply to you here.

          Well firefish federated perfectly well with masto and the other microblogs, so its userbase size doesn’t matter so much.

            That’s what I heard about kbin too. Doesn’t make sense to me, but I guess people like this kind of thing.

              I don’t think it’s true that kbin federated perfectly with masto. It’s more accurate that it consume content from masto but doesn’t provide a complete substitute for microblogging. Firefish is a complete microblogging platform on the other hand.
