Is it really even possible to create a 'successful ' lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

Ok , here we go.

I like lemmy a lot.

Mastodon and all the others are too complicated with too many dam options for threads. Not to mention I hate the Twitter layout.

Like look,

I want lemmy to have more users. The lack of engagement here is just beyond sad.

I've seen a lot of lemmy instances with like 1 user a month. Seriously? What the fuck?

I'm entertaining a thought to create a lemmy instance, but is there even a point? Should i even bother?

I feel like the issue with these reddit alternatives, is the LACK of content and users.

What do you think?

Go to a different server, check their "Instances" list at the very bottom, find one that doesn't block or block very little, create a new account there.

You've said you can't access some of the other servers. Your account is at lemmy.ml. You have to make a new account with the new server.

Go to join-lemmy.org/instances, find a server that suits you, click "join" or "apply to join", YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP AT THE NEW SERVER! YOU CANNOT USE YOUR LEMMY.ML ACCOUNT!
