People might stay there more than on Lemmy. Pixelfed seems in a better shape than how Lemmy was during summer 2023, with the constant DDoS on Lemmy.world and the language bugs preventing comments...

By the way @[email protected] not sure if you've seen it but there is also [email protected] now!

That's exactly me as well. Tried it, looked at random people's cats and dogs. Not for me.

Seems pretty close to Instagram

You're 100% right about that. I've never ran out of nice posts to look at on Pixelfed. I think the medium & format is a lot less addictive and a lot more relaxing/positive, which might help to explain it.

user retention
yeah, hard to tell.... Lemmy peaked a little under 70k MAUs and is around 45k now... if pixelfed peaks at 300k it's reasonable to think it levels at 200k (i.e. a hundredfold increase from a month ago).
ofc every situation is different... e.g. pixelfed has tighter Mastodon integration (pro) but may depend more on a network effect (con). also iirc the lemmy MAU count methodology shifted at some point, from post/comment to post/comment/upvote/downvote which is a confound for the lemmy dropoff count...

Well, it is a photo sharing platform.

o yeah thanks!

I love art so it's very much for me. I can see how it wouldn't seem attractive to people that aren't into that type of stuff though.

Sounds like instagram or imgur?

Is it like an alt to instagram?

The fediverse has had a very low retention rate. My bet is that after a year MAU will come down to 60k. That is if meta doesn't embroil itself in another controversy.
