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)

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.

Kiwi here, originally European so I get content in two languages and from people with some interests in similar. Good percentage of local and international stuff generally keeps me happy. (Not too concerned/glad about overall numbers - there's no continuous growth on a finite planet)

IMO there hasn't been enough marketing of Fediverse / Lemmy / etc.

Uk subs are too fragmented and I never see anything from them.

Hopefully voyager implements piefeds topics functionality.

What. I see so much !uk_politics@feddit.uk !casualuk@feddit.uk !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk etc.

And I wouldn’t call them fragmented, all on the same instance.

How are you noticing that you're specifically seeing less interaction from UK people?

I think because Emperor has vanished, might be a factor
