I know Kbin will grow in time but I miss how huge Reddit was.

On the contrary, the smallest communities are the most fun and enjoyable to interact in. The big ones are just good for making sure there’s always fresh content on /r/all every few hours. It’ll grow. This is just the first big migration wave, there will be more when the third party apps shut off and there will be more again once people start realizing it’s not just a tiny forum experiment no one cares about.

The current communities are a bit too small to be really engaging. There's often only a handful of comments instead of a wealth of discussion. It will grow and they will get better, but it's understandable that some people are feeling the content is a bit hollow currently. I bet another doubling in size (very doable) would easily bring us to the activity level needed for things to be lively and fresh.

Yup and that's the reason I think it is crucial now to stay here and be active instead of going back just because the learning heard goes after the memes. As Valdair said, it'll grow step by step now that a proper alternative exists. Everyone just needs to do their part, either by posting, commenting or developing.

Or a handful of votes but no comments. I'm trying to be more interactive here. I've already made three posts and over 50 comments, hoping that more involvement will encourage others to be involved, too.
