Makes me wonder just how many are active users

MAU means "monthly active users". As you can see, the ratio MAU/users is not higher for Mastodon than it is for Lemmy.

Uhh am I missing something? Linked page says Mastodon has 1 million mau, while for lemmy it says just below 40 000 mau?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They were talking about MAU Vs Users, which is similar (mastodon has like x 40 in each)

For me, Mastodon was not very user friendly. I still jump on it every now and then but I'm still not comfortable with it yet.

Out of curiosity, what were some things you found hard to get used to about Mastodon?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Finding interesting things to follow.

I'm not a twitter user, and also I thought that you'd find groups with whom you'd share, but instead I only found accounts telling me news I already knew. Roughly.

For me I'll check out my account from time to time for the FOSS stuff, but I could probably just hang out somewhere else (IDK where though :-)
