You’ll never believe where I’m from…

The only person here answering the question lol

That’s actually a much more likely situation, sinc all of these sites use the monthly active users of it’s main metric, and it’s been 2 months since Reddit shot itself in the foot.

Honestly, I was so close to not using Lemmy at all. It looked so alien to me, like is this really the next most popular community website to Reddit? But no matter how clunky and unintuitive it was, I was determined to make it work. After some good third party apps, I’m more than satisfied.

However, can’t be said for everyone. It’s clear most people made an account, had no idea what an “instance” was, and then just gave up. Lemmy should invest in making their main website easy to learn and get the hang of, and try to become more popular, accessible, and branch out. Some might say how small it is gives it charm, but undeniably more people (maybe not on one instance) is better.

Precisely the opposite. It’s great! Especially since I rarely stop due to a lack of content, since I’m always on New (but sometimes I’m prevented from seeing because the server’s down).

It was actually because there’s been so much content, yet I still spend a relatively healthy amount of time on the site. Why? On the surface, it’s the same thing, but in practice, it’s not.

I’m excited for it! I’m personally trying to build some of the really niche communities that were big before, like the tiny EarthBound one.

Thing is, though, is the site really growing? After most have just put up with Reddit’s bullshit, I can’t really find recent statistics of Lemmy’s active user base. And the few results I could find just show it’s being stagnant, or even shrinking. I could be wrong, though, if it is growing, even better!
