We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.
I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀
I heard it’s something like 90% of people lurk, 10% of people comment, 1% of people post. So you need a pretty substantial population just to have enough posts and comments for the lurkers to still hang around.
It’s also why it was particularly dumb of Reddit to piss off their 1% and 10%.
A lot of the thousands of Reddit comments per post were variations of ‘this!’ or inane joke responses, and I don’t miss that at all. It’s not the quantity, but the quality, and I’ve found discussions here to be more like Reddit’s early days when comment threads were more worthwhile.
But if you’re looking for the Reddit experience, I’ll help:
Where they at tho?

I think a lot of the refugees from Reddit are lurkers.

Woosh!
This is why we can’t have nice things.
I’m just kind of over social media. I gave this a try but I realised* I’m *the problem, not Reddit
Lemmy is only 4% of the fediverse by user %. Most of the fediverse is Mastodon.
I don’t get why people like the microblig format. It’s so terrible for anything more than snarky quips.
To me that line appears to be heading up. I just joined a few days ago!
