    the Fediverse which is enormous.

    Is it really? I mean, compared to reddit, how many users does the Fediverse have?

      Personally, I don’t give a fuck about Reddit. Approximately, 3 million and climbing on the Fediverse. It’s not about quantity but quality.

        Actually more than I would have guessed. Still not “enormous” by any reasonable definition. I don’t think the Fediverse as a whole is ever going to leave the tiny niche if currently occupies without acknowledging said niche, and it really needs to get past the niche to replace reddit as the “front page(s) of the internet”.
