And before I get corrected, I did mean Mastodon specifically, see https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/115311686596809608.

Likely this is the case for all of the fediverse, but https://fedidb.com doesn't go far back enough to fairly compare.

@Stefan Bohacek If you mean that content that originated on Mastodon as opposed to appearing on Mastodon is declining, one reason may be because Mastodon's "market share" within the Fediverse is shrinking. But AFAIK, the Fediverse itself isn't.

So the activity that Mastodon has lost didn't go to Bluesky, but rather to places like Sharkey or GoToSocial or, in the cases of more daring users, even Friendica and its descendants (although I've yet to see anyone permanently move directly from Mastodon to (streams) or Forte, also because the latter inevitably requires your own server).
