Mastodon numbers are crazy when compared to the rest of the software on that list. Makes me wonder just how many are active users and/or how many search "Mastodon" after Musk bought twitter, made an account on mastodon.social and left it.

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

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?

For me, Mastodon was actually quite nice once I started following hashtags.

For me, Mastodon is a great metal band.

... and then went back to twitter, but did not deactivate their #Fediverse account.

Or like me, tried 3 different ones before finding a fourth that worked.

I'm not a Twitter person pes se but it was the only (that I knew about, sadly) decentralized thing on the web that could replace reddit.

I tried Twitter long long ago. I did not enjoy it. I tried Mastodon. And strangely I understand it better than I understand Twitter.

Weird I know. And I can't explain it.
