Memes

Tbf, I have like 7 accounts and I'm currently only using 2 or 3 since Lemmy servers are much more stable than they used to be

In the early days of Reddit it's motto was fake it until you make it. It was a ghost town so they set up an army of bots to generate content and fake activity. Not much has changed tbh.

Happened with Mastodon too, but that's thriving now. Users come in waves. Don't focus on the numbers, focus on the content.

Maybe it’s because nobody is interested in a platform that has a worse circlejerk than even Reddit of all sites?

I want Lemmy to succeed but we need to attract more normies and at the right time when Reddit does something stupid again.

This is normal. Most "alt" services, rely on outrage and shit to grow user base. Reddit will do something stupid and we'll get a huge influx again, some people will stay, others will leave.

One of the other alt sites that I was part of had a meme just for this: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/409/691/008.png

We need something like this drawn up for Lemmy but without the N word.

Lemmy is cool and all but the amount of communist obsession here is a bit much.

Feels Very circle jerky here. Its low effort commentaries on political issues mostly and extraordinarily little growth of niche interest subs. The lack of content here helps curb my doom scrolling, so that and a real hate for reddit leadership and the pathetic Simps that think writing "fuck Spez" while still contributing content to his network for free is a form of effective protest, are all that keeps me here though.

i love lemmy,

People are leaving lemmy because of the quality of the apps

They are used to using a terrible app that often breaks and spams you with notifications of random posts

I find this all very irrelevant. I deleted reddit, account and all, and have never felt better. If I need to tell you you're great more to keep people here, then I will.

Hey, you're great!

Thanks.

I like turtles. Can we have more turtle-centric content?

I have no intention of leaving

oh my god who cares

For me personally, I have less connection to specific subs than back in the reddit days, given its federated nature and all that. I enjoy scrolling through the homepage, but don't really have that specific moment of 'I thought of something nice! That would fit nicely into this one, specific subreddit!'

Which, don't get me wrong, can be a good thing in the long run. But it takes a bit of getting used to.
