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)

Didn't the UK recently have a controversial online safety act or something? And didn't many servers defederate UK servers as result?

No, lemmy.zip just geo blocked UK IP adresses, but the content is still available from other servers, no instance defederated.

As a general comment, I suggest everyone interested in making the Fediverse grow to join those two communities

Nobody likes to shout into the void. The second one helps finding people to help you grow your communities.

Social media is kinda washed up. A lot of people are on substack, too. The internet as a place is just less popular, I think. We're all getting sick of it.

I left substack - terrible platform that just seems unnecessary

There needs to be a community tasked with advertising Lemmy on Reddit.
