Don’t know you dude or dudeette but we can try to be what reddit first started as and what now it should be. It would be nice to show them compition to show their way is not working and ours are.
I get you, and I don’t disagree, but sharing more actual content and less questions and comments about the lack of content, is much more likely to keep users here.
This is what Reddit was like in the early days, too. It’s better here because, with a smaller user base, you end up seeing a lot of the same people over and over again.
Yeah, definitely. I agree with you. I just wanted to point out that when Reddit first started, it was primarily a forum for programmers and, to a lesser extent, Linux users. Memes and niche communities emerged after the Digg exodus.
Edit: Meaning, we might not have the user count to match Reddit in terms of quality, but I still think we should try. Another API change could cause another influx of users.
Hey, Don, I know you’re excited and all, and I do appreciate that, but Lemmy isn’t going to turn into Reddit overnight.
I’ve been here for only over a year, and I’ve seen growth, but it’s going to take a while (possibly never) for us to see Reddit size activity.

Yea but something tells me you miss niche communities .
