Agreed that Mastodon 2022 / Bluesky 2025 is far from a precise correspondence! But while fedi's ecosystem is very diverse in some ways (and I agree that's a fundamental asset), it's much less diverse in others. Similarly the ATmosphere ecosystem is very diverse in some ways.but much less diverse in others. So my guess is that most fedi projects have an analogue in the ATmosphere -- not as far along because it's newer, and we'll see how many continue and how many wind up as dead ends.
Of course there are plenty of exceptions. Off the top of my head, I can't think of ATmosphere analogies of Bonfire, Frequency, or the friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte family. Then again there are also ATmosphere projects where I can't think of any fedi analogy: Blacksky, Gerrm, XBlock labeler, Anisota, Semble (a sense-making app). And some of the ways the ecosystems aren't diverse mirror each other; for example both are very Europe/US/Canada-centric.

I've just updated my #Snac instance, to version 2.85 đ đ
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Do you see this post? It comes from a Snac server.
The Fediverse is larger than you assume đ

Bot accounts on #Mastodon should be able to be flagged as "do not cache".
Having to hit F5 to reload the page every 30 minutes like as if it was still the early 2000s or something to play @fediplayssnake

âIs Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?â
Interesting article but I disagree with the premise:
The #ActivityPub protocol does not demand to display all messages.
Actually, it doesnât make any sense even.When I use #Pixelfed, I do that to see pictures only. Thatâs the whole point.
If I want to see more, I have to use a more generic platform, like #Mastodon.https://ploum.net/2025-12-04-pixelfed-against-fediverse.html
