Yesterday they had less than a hundred edits from just 6 individuals. The English language Wikipedia had around 150,000 edits. Justapedia needs a much bigger community for it to become more than a mirror.
They've switched off IP editing, one of the mistakes citizendium made, so unless they relaunch themselves as the home of alternative medicine and alternative facts, I agree with Galder, they are unlikely to succeed.

The logo is quite funny. According to that Information + Disinformation = Facts. It might be that they don't know what a Venn diagram is, or simply that they actually think that.
Don't worry, this is just one more project that will fall into oblivion.

There are Wikis that have "succeeded" with IP editing turned off with some being WikEM and Eyewiki
Additionally PT Wikipedia banned IP editing in 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-11-01/News_a...
Not sure how the later is going.

These are all good examples of how we can’t take a “one size fits all” approach when thinking about editing policies and features. The study of the effects of no IP editing strongly reiterated this conclusion based on the data: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mi...
Portuguese Wikipedia is largely dominated by Brazilians. Brazil has some of the highest social media use per capital in the world, so part of the underlying reality is that PT Wikipedia users are probably unusually willing to sign up for new services. This probably explains why in Portuguese making people sign up didn’t result in fewer unreverted edits, whereas when we tried even *suggesting* IP editors should sign up in other wikis, it didn’t work: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Value_of_IP_Editing#Past_trials_of_...
For starting a new general knowledge wiki, it’s a terrible idea to require registration if you want to actually grow.
