Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no active here and tbh I see the trend of disappearing activity

Honestly, I never fail to be astounded how promptly I have responses. I'd almost describe it as legendary. Very satisfied with what we're able to accomplish with our much smaller user base

Our numbers are relatively small, but there are a disproportionate number of internet fanatics. I thought I was terminally online but I have to say I've been thoroughly outclassed in that department by some of my fellow Lemmings.

It's good but it's also something we need to keep in mind as we grow and try to recruit users that are less digitally minded.

I think it's simply because there's less white noise trahing over everything so more proper posts are visible and as there's less toxicity people are more confident to comment on Lemmy.

Long may it continue.
