Is the Fediverse stalling? (lemmy.relayeasy.com)

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)

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.

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

I have enjoyed this discussion but some of my UK peers have added that the fediverse in general (like most social media to be fair) when it is new seems to "american" for them. Bluesky suffers from this criticism as well. This puts a lot of UK users off. Heck even threads is described by many as too us focused right now (see the I'm in the UK is anybody else posts on threads)

https://feddit.uk/ has 400 monthly active users and is as British as you can get

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