So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying?

As this is a graph of comments and likes to posts by @heiseonline@social.heise.de - who don't post to Lemmy/Piefed - it's probably not related to Reddit. But quitting X is also a good new years resolution I guess. :)
They definitely do post some of their posts directly into threadiverse communities, but xes most of the measured interactions here will by masto etc software

Yes, but if you don't follow the community/category and stumble onto the post some other way (for example someone reposted it), then you wont see any of the comments

Iirc. you'll see comments towards the OP only (i.e. root comments, and replies to the OP explicitly). You will also not see comments non-OP microbloggers will send towards threadiverse users on other instances than where the community is in.

I didn't realize—that's pretty cool!

That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.@Mastodon @SocialMedia @fediverse
I feel like there's some kind of a ripple going through the Fediverse. Here's my answer from a week ago

Okay, that's fair. The hard requirement for a microblog user to have to follow the community is often too high a barrier (if only because it's not immediately apparent that this needs be done)
That said, Mastodon gets around patchy federation with mention spamming. Threadiverse gets around this with the distributor model (the community itself).
I don't know how to reconcile this from a technical perspective... yet.
Also @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is in response to you as well.

I honestly feel if the two paradigms did a little bit of effort on interoperation, we could figure this out. But all sides of this atm are like "the other side is doing it wrong" and refusing to look at this.

You're absolutely correct! (Great, now I sound like ChatGPT)
That said I think that's where implementations like NodeBB and Mbin can apply a bit of pressure and act as intermediaries... we want federation to work well too, and we have to straddle both federation styles!
That gives a somewhat unique perspective on problems and solutions.
