Lemmy won but Reddit didn't lose.
Lemmy culture was great during the initial exodus, but now sometimes I don't feel like I belong here. On Reddit, you could often find your subculture. I want the fediverse to succeed tho.
Why not make the community you want? I made !micromobility on Lemmy and people seem to like it.
Do heelys count as micromobility?
I did. !streetwear@lemmy.world
I'm constantly on the verge of giving up on it because nobody posts except me 💀
You can do it!
I believe in you.
I think that's the answer. But have to make a community with broad enough scope to draw enough people to be active I think? E.g. instead of fountain pens: writing instruments so you get the pen, pencil, typewriter, etc. fans.
Diluting a community's purpose for the sake of subscribers doesn't result in a compelling community, imo.
Perhaps not, idk. Although it sure seems like there is overlap in membership between hobby subs from other socials.
