I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.
I am always way more active on the fediverse alternative than on the original. Fuck corporate social media. I have been burned so many times. I constantly have to fight off ads and high battery and storage usage.
I’ve been on a lot recently because it’s a shiny new thing and I want to figure out how it works, but I also want new people to join so it get bigger and has better and more varied content.
Make lemmy QR codes and put them on the street, throw them at people, rent a billboard, hire marketers, build a multinational marketing enterprise dedicated to the promotion of Lemmy. Make astroturfing gpt bots.
I‘ve been trying to get Bassment more active, but I‘m not extensively investing hours. With a few comments every other day it’s much less of a problem.
Lemmy had 1-2k people. Now it has 240k monthly active users. In a sense, you are exactly that. Most lemmy instances were created in the last few weeks.
I procrastinated work for 2 straight weeks when lemmy came out. Deadline is now past and I’m still deep into the task and being threatened with retaliation for not finishing on time. 🤔 That had never happened to me with reddit at all, not even close.
Im visiting a friend for the week and only have my iPhone so this has been a godsend. will be interesting to see how my usage shifts once back home……but this place is nice.
I didn’t mean to downplay them! Been watching lots of stargate sg-1 and just hanging out more or less. The show ranges from being so great to just straight up bad so presents plenty of conversation
I think I do, but only because, after using reddit, I know, or at least I have enough knowledge how these kind of forums work and can “work off” my initial excitement productively.
shit, I remember when first saw reddit, and the default frontpage, I had absolutely zero idea what’s going on. it was legit scary… had a bit of lerning curve, so most of the time I was just (trying to) lurk around.
Now that you mention it, I’m watching and scrolling Lemmy/Kbin since I wake up until I go to bed. I only enjoy some relax to cook, to eat and to play video games.
I really enjoy the content on lemmy compared to r/. I think the loss of moderation tools over there has made a bunch of crap float to the top. Here it feels more authentic, I guess?
Lemmy had much fewer moderation tools. It’s not the lack of mod tools. In fact, mod tools are still alive because reddit delayed their death for a week or so. The problem, more than mod tools, is behavior and demographic changes.
Yes, and I think I’ve been too enthusiastic posting content because I’m starting to see people shit on me for specific comments, however I deserve it since people are actually actively policing people here in kbin and Lemmy and it’s refreshing to see people care about the communities that are being built here.

yes. this community is slowly going through puberty now

I’m excited for all the new apps. It’s like the Wild West of app development lol.
For sure. I’m trying to post a lot more too for communities I enjoy.
I’ve been posting and commenting specifically to keep interactions alive in hopes people will see a bustling community and try it out!

Is that a community about bass guitars? I’ll send a link to a couple of people.
Yes, that‘s correct! Much appreciated!
I understand of course that Lemmy was around for a long time before me, but I still feel like an OG for some reason.
What about me?
You’re an OG for sure lmfao that’s nuts
Pff, get off my lawn
Lemmy had 1-2k people. Now it has 240k monthly active users. In a sense, you are exactly that. Most lemmy instances were created in the last few weeks.
Where are you getting the monthly active stats by the way?
FediDB threadiverse stats. The link is out there. I’m not home. I don’t have it with me right now. You’ll have to look it up.
Ah I’ve been using Lemmy stats which shows 68k:

Threadiverse shows 130k
My sleepy ass added a 1 ☺️☺️☺️
Definitely not haha! But that’s not a bad thing. Lemmy feels less addicting.

I’m using Lemmy about the same as I did Reddit but the difference is my level of interaction.
Im visiting a friend for the week and only have my iPhone so this has been a godsend. will be interesting to see how my usage shifts once back home……but this place is nice.
Remember that you also have a real life friend there. 🙃 😉

You do you! If you have stuff to say, say it! If other people don’t think it’s a valid contribution, they can skip over it.
I’m more active here because the UX is better.
