1000 followers isn’t really big. 🤷

Mastodon HAS rss support.

Just add “.RSS” to your mastodon URL. This should work for accounts, tags and possibly for other feeds/streams.

Gancio

Also, check out https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/ for a comprehensive list of services/apps available in the fediverse.

This would incentivise instances to keep growing, as more users would potentially mean more income. I don’t think that this is a good idea as it conflicts the decentralized nature of the fediverse.

I would suggest that we promote donations more. Seriously, nobody is talking about that stuff.

Furthermore, “money” doesn’t always fix a communities infrastructure issues - people do. Most of the time, admins are a one-person-army. If people would take over work (like moderation, implementing helpful features in code, …) more often, that might help out the admins more than just throwing money at them.

It is the same as with a lot of open source communities: It’s not all about the money, it’s about people getting active and involved and helping each other out.

Definitely NOT writefreely. It is a nice tool, if you want to have a minimalistic blog others on the fediverse can follow, but it is extremly bad at interacting with literally anything, yet. (This might change in the future, but at the moment, WF is not really made for your use case.)

It looks like the graph from the “Mastodon user count” bot: https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount

However, this bot counts MASTODON users - not fediverse users. The graph has probably nothing to do with reddit exodus but with Musks announcement that birdsite users can only see 300 posts until they register and pay.

A couple of small ones are starting out here and there: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=fantasy+football

Doesn’t seem like big communities hopped over yet.

https://browse.feddit.de/ would be another one.
