yeah i think it’s more about the quality than the quantity
like, there can be a thousand comments but all of them pointless, which is what happens when your social media platform only tries to grow in user numbers. we should strive for quality over quantity, i think.
…I do. But the majority of the communities I subscribe to (and I have found multiple iterations across different instances) are not very active. Their reddit counterparts are.
You can stop trying to reject my experiences with your nonsense to make yourself look right. You’re not.
Yeah I’m sure me pointing out that there being more content than a person can sift through doesn’t matter if it’s not the right kind of content, will keep all the people who aren’t in Lemmy from joining Lemmy…
And apparently me stating that basic fact is enough to get labeled as a shitty attitude, as well as blamed for the actual shortcoming of having fewer people. Which is definitely not the type of aggressive behavior that is more likely to keep people away than an acknowledgement of current low population.
Make sure to switch up how you look at posts and you’ll see that it is more alive than you think. Active seems the most dead which is default, but I still check it. I go by hot, active, 6 hours and scaled, in that order.
Not unless we stop reposting content from other social media which would make Lemmy even more dead than it already is.
lemmy is quite alive. Source: this post has 22 comments by the time of me writing this already.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
11 hours ago.
Only a bit more than double since then. We are living like a medieval serf with the plague.
Oh man…22 comments in 3 hours. Positively booming…
I am fairly confident, that there is more content on lemmy right now, than a person can sift through.
If there is more than about a dozen comments under a post, i rarely read all of them.

Not in the [not exactly small] niches I’m interested in. Front pages are stale for DAYS

Good job.
